Project #5: This one Really Stinks! AKA "How to Make a Naked Egg"


On Sunday we tried a quick science experiment.  We decided to put eggs in vinegar to see what it would do to the shell.  We saw the pictures and read the web site but I think are hesitant to believe that in a few days we could hold a shell-less egg.  I hope it works because what they don’t tell you is that the process- stinks.  Literally.  The whole kitchen stinks.

UPDATE: This one WORKS! In just a few short days  of stinky kitchen the outer shell of the egg flaked off leaving the yolk and white of the egg nicely contained within the membrane.  Dallin thought he could bounce it like a ball.  Nope. SPLAT.  No picture of that but here is Mason holdong his shell-less egg!

Hmmm, did that for a science project few years back, the incredible bouncy egg! I wonder if we did something different, it didn't really stink that I remember and it was pretty darn bouncy, although maybe Nicole didn't throw it. Ugh.
