Egg Bounce Number Two

We had a very interesting experience yesterday to add to our egg experiments.  Mrs Locky came into visit us as she is going to be working in our class later on this term and brought one of the eggs from her fridge.  She had been reading our blog and saw that we had been making bouncing eggs.  She wanted to test to see what would happen to her egg from the fridge.  Check out what happened.

Class Challenge - Egg Bounce

We did an egg experiment in our class as part of the school challenge. We used 3 eggs in vinegar. We used Malt vinegar and white vinegar for the eggs. One of the vinegars had dye in it. We left our eggs in the vinegar mixture for 2 days for the malt vinegar and 3 days for the white and dyed vinegar. Our fist egg we tried to bounce was the malt vinegar. We dropped it from 10cm, 50cm, 60cm and then 70cm. They all broke at 70cm when we dropped them.

Our egg bounced 15cm when we slowed the video down and checked it against the ruler.  It was the Malt Vinegar egg that bounced the best.

This our blue egg as we had dye in the jar with the white vinegar.

Class Challenge - Reading

We had a class challenge to complete around reading.  We love reading the book about Doggie Doo and since we have had some puppies at school lately we thought it was a great book to read.  Hope you enjoy listening to our reading of it.
