Eggsperiment!

At the beginning our our Scientific Process Unit The Gliding Squids came up with an experiment based on the following materials.

-3 eggs

-3 jars

-vinegar

-water 

After, lots of discussion we decided to put one egg in a jar with water, one egg in a jar with vinegar and the third egg in a jar with vinegar and water.

Some of our testable questions are as follows:

-How do the different liquids (water, vinegar, and water and vinegar) affect the texture of the eggs in the jar?

-At the end of the experiment which egg will be cracked the most out of the 3 jars?

-What will happen to the appearance of the eggs if you submerge them in water, vinegar and water and vinegar?

-Will the 3 eggs have different textures after putting them in vinegar, half water and vinegar, and water?

-What happens to an egg put in a jar of vinegar, vinegar and water, or water for 4 1/2 weeks?

-What changes will I see on the egg if I put eggs in vinegar, water, and water and vinegar?


As we have already had them submerged in these liquids for 4 1/2 weeks we decided to take them out and observe what really happened.

discussing what we notice

recording observations 

After we concluded that experiment one of the students came up with the bright idea of continuing with another experiment using the egg that was submerged in water and the egg that was submerged in vinegar. 

Groups decided to create their own testable questions and hypotheses. 

One of the groups took the following video to figure out which egg would hit the ground first. 

Can you see which one did? 

Yes, you guessed it the one that was submerged in water hit the ground befe the one that was submerged in vinegar did.
