Science Fair Project
2008.03.04
In water the egg inside is expanding.
|
In vinegar (acetic acid). It is removing the shell (calcium carbonate) releasing a gas (carbon dioxide), hence the bubbles.
|
The shell is removed and you can see the remnants of it on the sides of the jar.

The boy and his egg.
|
All that's left of the raw egg is the membrane which is holding it all together. The egg feels like rubber.

|
Adding an egg to vinegar.
|
Anyone hungry??

Egg in water expanding.
|
Carbon dioxide forming around the egg in vinegar.
|
|
After 48 hours a couple more bubbles have formed on the egg in water.
|
The egg looks like pearls.
Boy, did my macro come in handy with this project.

This is my 9 yo son's Science Fair Project. It's showing what happens to an raw egg when you put it in water or vinegar for 24 hours. It was a lot of fun to watch the progress.

hehe - science experiments are so much fun! looks like your son had a good time too. i loved how the egg feels after being in vinegar. don't you just want to throw it and watch it bounce and then smash it?? haha, i do! great set documenting this - i love #1 and #14. eggs are fun! :-)

Wow TCC! The detail from your macro lens is OUTSTANDING! I realize some of these shots were over a 2 day period, but how long did it take for the vingar to completely remove the shell?! That was cool! The bubbles in these shots are uber cool! Doesn't Macro Rock?!
