Easter is just around the corner, so here are 10 egg science experiments for you.
Find out how to make an unbreakable egg, this is super simple and all you need is an egg and some cling film.
How can you make an egg bounce? Find out here, be careful though it might break if you bounce it too high,
How to make an egg shell disappear! This is like magic! Watch the shell disappear before your eyes. Just be careful not to break the membrane like we did.
Shrinking eggs - make an egg shrink and then expand, but first you’ll have to remove the shell to expose the delicate membrane.
How Strong is an egg shell? Can you balance books on a egg shell? and how many? What else could you balance on top of the eggs?
Air Pressure - find out how to get an egg through a small jar. Watch as the egg drops into the jar like magic.
Transforming egg white - find out what happens when you whisk egg white and why. This one is a bit messy, but lots of fun and very yummy!
For more meringue fun, how about making a Baked Alaska?
You could make a chocolate easter egg and explore melting.
Finally, do you know how to make an egg float?
Can you think of any more egg science experiments for kids? Please do leave a link in the comments if you have any.

The egg is only recognizable from its shape without the shell there. Some brilliant ideas here.
We used to fry an egg in class to show the children the change of state from liquid to solid with the addition of heat. Can you believe that most of them had never seen a egg frying so it was a real novelty (they were 11!!).
These look like fun egg experiments. We have done a few of them but not all. Thanks for sharing.
Some of these I’ve been wanting to do for awhile, but some are new to me…great ideas all! Pinning to my Preschool Science board to try with my kiddo soon!
Ok, these ideas are just TOO COOL!!! I can’t wait to try these with my own kiddos! Thanks so much for sharing over at Sun Scholars. I am featuring this post at this week’s party… YIPEE!!! AND… it’s been pinned to my Best Of board on Pinterest, and sharing on Facebook later this morning. Love what you are doing here at Science Sparks! xoxoxo
very cool! my (and my kids’) favorite egg experiment has to do with showing how strong eggshells are, due to their round, arc shape and the evenness of their placement in an egg carton. We call it the “walking on eggshells experiment”. we just stood on ours, but if you have more eggs, you could “walk” on them.

We just did one of the egg-periments! We did the bioled egg on a bottle and it got sucked right in! Thanks for sharing. we cant wait to do more!

One of my favorite experiments as a kid was dropping an egg from a high height and trying to not make it break.
