The Bouncing Egg Challenge! 🥚🏀🧪Turning a raw egg into a bouncy ball?

Yes, it’s possible! 🤯A lot of people think vinegar just “softens” the shell, but it’s actually a fascinating chemical reaction.
The acetic acid in the vinegar DISSOLVES the calcium carbonate of the shell. It doesn’t just break it; it literally turns it into gas (those tiny $CO_2$ bubbles you see!) until the shell is completely gone.
The result? A rubbery, translucent egg held together by its natural membrane.
My boys put it to the test! We dropped it from different heights to see its limit.
Want to try it at home? Here is the secret:
✨ STEPS:
1️⃣ Submerge a raw egg in white vinegar for 48 hours.

2️⃣ Rinse gently and rub off any shell residue.

3️⃣ Start the bounce test! (Slowly increase the distance).⚠️ IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS:DO NOT EAT IT: This egg has been out for 48 hours. It’s for science, not for breakfast! 🤢WASH HANDS: Always wash up after handling raw eggs.

PRO TIP: Do the high-altitude test outdoors… because, in the end, it’s still a raw egg! 🍳💥How would you try it? Would you add food coloring to make it glow? Or try to bounce it from the stairs?
