Five Excellent Egg Experiments

Here at Science Sparks, we love experiments using eggs. Eggs are generally inexpensive and can usually be eaten before or after the activity, so there’s no waste.

These are my five favourite Egg Experiments.

 

Five Eggy Experiments

Make an eggshell disappear

Make an eggshell disappear! This is like magic! Watch the shell of an egg disappear before your eyes. Just be careful not to break the membrane.

Make an egg shrink

Learn about osmosis by making an egg shrink! You’ll need to remove the shell to expose the delicate membrane.

Eggshell bridge

Find out how strong an eggshell is by making an eggshell bridge! The dome shape is surprisingly strong.

Drop an egg into a jar

Learn about air pressure with a boiled egg. The change in pressure between the outside and inside of the jar pulls the egg into the jar.
