This experiment is ridiculously awesome!!! Want to make an egg glow and bounce??? Read below.
Harry and I soaked an egg in a glass of vinegar (12oz) for 24 hours. Keep the glass on a table or counter. Once the 24 hours is up, pour out the vinegar, and put the egg into a new bowl.
The vinegar is an acid which reacts with the egg shell. The calcium carbonate in the egg shell dissolves in the vinegar. The membrane inside the shell remains intact, which makes the egg feel rubbery and squishy like a bouncy ball.
The egg will also glows when you shine a flashlight on it now!!
We had a lot of fun bouncing the egg, squishing it, and making it glow. Definitely a must try experiment!
