Year 5 Bouncy Egg

Year 5 has been very busy this week as part of our Science Week. Using this year’s theme of time, we created our own investigations that we observed closely throughout the week.

Do you think you can make an egg bounce? Well, Year 5 tested this theory!

We put eggs into white vinegar for 24 hours and observed the changes. We saw the reaction of the vinegar dissolving the egg shell. It created thousands of tiny bubbles on the shell. The shell even looked like a snake shedding its skin according to Vinnie, 5 Cedar.

We then ‘peeled’ the egg and had a go at bouncing them!

We had a few eggtastrophies along the way but 5 bouncy eggs survived!
