Jumping egg

MATERIALS:
Two glasses
Two eggs
Vinegar
Water
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Fill a glass with water and put one egg into it.
- Fill the second glass with vinegar and put another egg in.
- Wait three or four days.
- The egg in vinegar hasn't got a shell. It's bigger and darker than the egg in water.
WHY:
Vinegar is an acid and dissolves the calcium in the eggshell. It is calcium that makes the shell hard. A thin flexible membrane just under the shell still holds the egg's shape.
Water does nothing to the eggshell.

  12. HELLO MY NAME IS CARMEN

    This experiment is very funny !!! because the vinegar is an acid. Then, as the vinegar is an acid, the vinegar eats the shell of the egg and the egg jumps.
