The Naked Egg Experiment

The naked egg experiment is a fun and easy little experiment to do and it actually works. I've had some really cool sounding experiments that were complete flops in practice, so I get excited about the ones that are hugely successful.
All you need are eggs and vinegar. Easy!
You pour some vinegar in a tall glass or jar. Add the egg and then watch. After a week the shell will have disappeared, leaving a translucent egg. It's pretty cool and rubbery and slightly bouncy. The kids had fun bouncing the eggs on the table (don't bounce from too high up or they'll break!).
Here are some before and after pictures:

If you want some more detailed instructions and some scientific explanations about what is going on with your egg, check out this link here.

Steve Spangler does a lot of cool science stuff. I highly recommend checking out more of his videos.

Have an "egg"cellent time with this one!
