The Bouncing Egg

Bella, Kylee, Hope, Jake and Mrs. Frieden made bouncing eggs.  First, they put an egg in a cup and filled the cup with white vinegar.
This is what the eggs looked like after 3 days.
The egg sat in the cup for 3 days.  Each day the shell on the egg dissolved more and more.  On the third day they took the egg out of the cup and scrubbed any remaining shell off the egg.  Next, they held the eggs about 3 inches above a table and let go.  The eggs bounced!!! But they don't bounce when dropped a long distance. Kylee's egg slipped out of her hand and broke.  The kids discovered the eggs still had a soft yoke inside.

 OOPS!!!   Kylee's egg slipped out of her hand!!
