Eggs-Periment!

Today's order of business is to perform some eggs-periments!

During today's science lesson, the K2 children were given the opportunity to perform some experiments using eggs. The first experiment is called "Squishy Eggs. Here, the children were taught about the effects of soaking an egg in vinegar and in turn, learned what acid can do to calcium as the eggs which have been left soaking in a bowl of vinegar no longer had their hard brown shells to protect them and were left with only the soft white membrane that makes up the inside of the egg shells.

Three different eggs-periments

Children gathered around to listen to the briefing.

The children were then shown two other eggs-periments which were "Spinning Eggs" and Balancing Eggs" and were then asked to go home and think about the reasons why the experiments turned out the way they did. Here are the questions:

1. Why does one egg stop spinning while the other continues?

2. What is the item used to balance the second egg?

3. Why can the second egg stand when placed on top of the item?

Can you think about it and tell us, parents?
