Bouncing Egg
Create a bouncing egg with one of the easy science experiments, fun food games for kids and kids learning games. Kids science games should always be supervised by an adult. This is good for home or in school science class. Need: one egg and glass of vinegar. Fill the glass about 3/4 full with vinegar. There should be enough vinegar so the egg is covered without it spilling out of the glass. Set the glass aside for one week (7 days). After 7 days has passed, get a bowl then remove the egg from the vinegar. Hold the egg about 7 inches above the bowl. Let go!! Your egg should bounce back once it hits the bottom of the bowl. It's advisable to use a bowl just in case the egg splatters. Vinegar is an acid while the egg shell is calcium carbonate. The egg shell goes soft when submerged in vinegar. Use this for elementary school science classes and also early junior high classes. Take the time to tell the students the make up of the egg, its shell and the vinegar. Depending on the size of your classroom, you may want to give each student his or her own egg to experiment with. You can even hold a team game, seeing how many students' eggs do not crack when bounced. The winning team will be the team with the most uncracked eggs. Or let each student bounce his egg individually to see if it cracks.
