Eggs-periment

In kindergarten we're learning about eggs. So far we've talked about the most common animal that we think of laying eggs, a chicken. We did a little drama about a girl (doll) who found an egg, in a nest, on a farm. Everyday when she came back, there was another egg in the nest. Low and behold, they were laid by a hen!

In the next lesson we discovered many other types of animals that come from eggs. We learned that eggs can be all sizes and they can be on land or in the water!

Miss Bosworth has been working on a little something at home. I've heard that if you soak eggs in vinegar the shell will disintegrate leaving the egg with a soft and rubbery feel. The old legend is that they will bounce if you do it just right.

So this morning, after a day and a half in vinegar, I rinsed off the eggs which were indeed rubbery. I took the first one and tried to bounce it on the counter. It moderately worked. We're not talking bouncy ball but it did sort of flop around.

Then I tried bouncing the second egg...I was a little late leaving the house.

Egg-cellent!
