An Eggcellent Idea!

Breana, CA | Egg
We saw the bubbles, then foam appeared on the top of the vinegar. In the morning, the eggshell was rubbing off of the egg, and what was left behind was a "rubber" shell. The shell is transparent, and we can se the raw egg moving inside! It was like the vinegar dissolved the outer shell and created an inner soft shell.

Racheal, MI | Egg
It turend into like a water balloon.

Sam, ON | Egg
i put the egg in the vinegar. the second day i checked on it it was like a rubber balloon.

Mikayla, NC| Egg
I put my egg in vinagar in the evening and it was floating and the next evening I checked the egg and it was still floating with little bubbles all over it and the shell dissapeared and it got squishy and was see through.It felt like a squishy ball or water balloon. I tried bouncing it but it squish all over the floor.Ithought it was a dolls pillow with water in it.

Sophie, OH | Egg
The egg felt slimy when I took it out of the cup. The next time I play in an egg toss, I'm going to cheat by using an egg like this! It is very bouncy!

Jessica, VT | Egg
My egg became just like a water balloon.

Evan, NY | Egg
It got huge, and a little orange, & It got rubbery.

Kathryn, NJ | Egg
When I took the egg out of the vinegar, it was soft and squishy. It looked like the inside of an egg with no shell. It was also a little bouncy.

Alexa, NY | Egg
after soaking the egg all night there was a foamy film floating on top. The shell seemed to disolve and it felt like a thick water balloon. It was really cool to look and feel it. I was so excited I called my 3 year old brother, Ben, to come and see it and feel it. He gave it a good squeeze and it instantly poped!!! But then we were left with a rubbery shell, just like a balloon!!!! It was lots of fun.

Jasmine and Ariel, NJ | Egg
We placed the egg in a cup with vinager.
After an hour the egg looked bubbly. The next day we rinsed the egg in water. There was no shell left. It looked bigger and felt soft like a water ballon. Before we cracked we thought it might bounce but it broke easily.

Esther, NE | Egg
when i first put the egg in i put vineger and i left it i checked it about 3 hours later it was softer but not like rubber. Ileft it in there for two days and when i checked on it it was slippery rubber.

Krishna, NJ | Egg
when i put it in vineger over night it softened and it was kind of yellow but i have done this before like 5 years ago

Samantha, CA | Egg
the egg feel like a balloon and I droped it on the counter but it did'nt crack it was weird

Marley, NY | Egg
We put the egg in vinegar right after watching your show, that night, right before going to bed, my mom showed me the egg. The dark layer of shell had come of it like a dead skin. The next morning, when I picked up the egg, it was all soft and all the color rubbed off of it until it was white and bouncy like a natural bouncy ball. I cut it with a knife. The egg white and yolk seemed normal. But when we fried it and tried to eat, it didn't taste as good as it looked. What I learnt: 1/egg is made out of layers and layers of stuff. 2/ the vinegar softens the shell. Your friend, Marley

Rambo, MN | Egg
Well I put the egg in the water then next morning i check it it had all these bubbles. After that iI putted the egg in the corn syrup in couple days that egg that i soaked in vinegar thats the one putted in the con syrup so in couple days you can see the yoak inside and its outer covering was really thin like ice that just started getting thick. That all ill try next expirement and write about it later.

Maggie, BC | Egg
I put mine in organic rice viniger and my shell boiled and cracked. Now the viniger is yellow!

Beth and Mat, TX | Egg
After 24hrs the egg was surounded by bubbles and its texture had changed. The texture was soft and squishy. The color of the egg changed from white to a yellowish color. After 48hrs the squishyness increased and the yellowness increased. There wre also places on the egg that appeared to be transluscent as well.

Armando, TX | Egg
I put the egg in vinegar and the eggshell seemes to be bubbling. The egg turned very soft and rubbery over night. You could see the yolk through it. It smelled a lot like vinegar. It was very very soft, like rubber, that is why it felt more like a waterballon to me and that is why I picked that answer.

Cole and Grace, OR | Egg
After noticing how rubbery the shell was, we poked through it and found that the shell became powdery and fell off the membrane inside.

Corey, SC | Egg
my results were that the egg took a water baloon form. I found out that if you droped it, it would bounce.

Celina, NM | Egg
I soked mine for about a week it came to feel like a water balloon! I did it for a class project at school in 5th grade I'm in 9th gr. now!

Griffin, MN| Egg
It looked like a big yolk. The shell was gone. It felt like jell-o with a rough skin on. When we popped it with a fork, the yolk and stuff came out and we had left-over skin.We are going to see what happens now if we try it with a hard-boiled egg.

Molly, OH | Egg
The egg became really slimy and rubbery. After we rinsed it off, we could see that the shell was gone and you could see into the egg - it changed color too! We tried to bounce it in the sink, but it went splat!

Melanie, OH | Egg
My egg boiled and cracked. I thought it was so cool!

Alex, OH | Egg
My egg is all soft and gooshy. It feels like I could stick my finger right through the outside and break it.

Meaghan, SC | Egg
I put the egg in a cup with vinegar and it was hard. Bubbles got on the shell and the next day it had yucky stuff on the top of it. I wiped it off and it was slimy and the shell was slimy too and gone.

Sarah, CA | Egg
I picked it up the shell was no longer there. It was weird. I think the force of the vinagar was strong enoughth to melt the shell away.

Nathan, WA | Egg
At first the egg was bubbly and then it got foamy. The top and bottom of the egg were hard, but the middle felt squishy.

Marianna, MA | Egg
We cracked open two eggs this morning, after putting one in vinegar over night. The vinegar egg felt really squishy, and the shell was soft. It didn't fall off, it stayed completely together until we cracked it. We thought we could use it for a new ball! ;) We used brown eggs, and all of the color came off the egg shell with the vinegar! it rubbed right off! How neat! We cracked it, and the inside was the same as the raw egg. Very cool!

Ian and Emma, NY | Egg
The egg was squishy and bouncy. The outside shell was like a ballon.

Brennan, MA | Egg
it turned into a soft rubbery egg. It broke very easily.

Ethan, DE | Egg
My egg had no hard shell. It felt rubbery and we could bounce it on the kitchen counter.

Alex, NY | Egg
Looked and felt like a water balloon after 24 hours, after 48 hours seemed to get bigger and still was like a water balloon.

Beatrice, NJ | Egg
When I let it soak for twelve hours, it looked kind of see through, and it felt like a balloon. It was cool.

Forrest, ID | Egg
The next day the egg shell was squishy except for one spot that was still hard which I suspect was where the yolk was resting.

Kendall and Scott, OR | Egg
For our results we found out that the egg had expanded itself, and the shell had exploded of of the egg. We also did this with a hard boiled egg. The same results came up, except the hard boiled didn't expand as much.

Andrea, IL | Egg
It felt like a rubber ball only a little more delicate.The shell was of and little tiny bubbles were on the egg's surface.

Candace, TX | Egg
at first when i put the egg in the vinegar it did look like a tennis ball because it had all kinds of bubbles surrounding it but when i left it out for a day it felt like a water ballon and looked even though some of the white was stil on and the top was still hard because the egg had started floating to the top and i didn't know what to do!

Robyn | Egg
i didnt do it but i bet it was a watter balloon

Ivan, AK | Egg
It felt bounce but isent. and soft

Omar, IN | Egg
After 1 day when I put the egg in the cup of vineger it was much bigger and softer and it had small bubbles all over it. If I were to hald it up to light then I would be able to see the egg yolk.

Megan, NY | Egg
Soft like a water balloon. When you press on the shell it dented.

Danielle, FL | Egg
when i did this is science class then u showed it when u put the eggin the vunigar its like its taking the first layer of the egg off then when the next day comes its like a water balonn its bouncy but it may break if u bounve it too hard .

Carly, ON | Egg
My results were that the egg bounced.

Kyleigh, CA | Egg
I put the egg in a cup of vinigar and it floated to the top. I checked the egg about 10 min later and it was covered with bubbles. The next day I discovered the egg had grown and sunk to the bottom. I removed the egg gently and found it no longer had a shell and could see the yoke.

Chelsey, MI | Egg
The egg looks & feels rubbery, the shell cracked while soaking but is unbreakable.

Jacko, IL | Egg
It smelled really bad, and melted the shell. My dad threw it on the deck and it burst just like a water balloon.

Jabari and Teja, MN | Egg
We put the egg in the vinegar and saw all the bubbles on the shell! When we felt it, it still felt hard and it kept floating to the top of the glass. Then when we checked it the next day, our mom couldn't get it out of the glass because it had swelled up! Then we took it out and felt the outside and it felt like rubber! It's all squishy and you can squeeze it without it breaking!

Alexandra, TX | Egg
I put the egg in vinegar at five o' clock. Then I took it out and rinsed it at about nine forty-five the next morning. It felt kind of like a bubble.

Joe, CA | Egg
the hard part went away

Katie, ME | Egg
After letting the egg soak overnight I couldn't crack the egg. It was like the egg was unbreakable. But, when the egg fell on the floor, it did break. And what a mess it made! I had to clean it up with my Daddy.

Joseph, MN | Egg
The egg felt as if it were a water balloon. It looked yellowish and when I held it up to a light I could see the yolk floating inside. Cool!

Madelyn and James, MN | Egg
it felt squishy. the eggshell rubbed off.

David, CA | Egg
We did the experiment, and the egg turned rubbery. My mom thought it would be indestructable so she threw it at my dad and it splattered all over him.

Thomas, WA | Egg
after soaking the egg in vinegar overnight,the egg was rubbery and very bouncy.

Hayley, TX | Egg
The egg is nice and soft. It is squishy feeling. It turned a yellow color. The vinger made the egg shell diappear.

Emily, CA | Egg
It was all bubbly and the shell came off. It was soft like a water balloon.

Megan, CA | Egg
When I felt it,it was really squishy.

Alex, MN | Egg
We just did this experiment at school and we talked about the enamel on the egg that is similar to the enamel on our teeth. It was cool how the shell dissolved in the vinegar leaving the membrane holding the egg insides.

John-Michael, CT | Egg
water balloon because vinegar softens up everything

Cristina, MA | Egg
I did an experiment with a raw egg and some vinegar. I put the egg in a cup. Then I poured the vinegar in. I put enough to cover the egg. Then I checked the egg in one hour. The egg's shell had started to dissolve. The outside of the egg that had dissolved was at the top of the vinegar cup. It looked foamy. The vinegar caused the outside of the egg to begin to dissolve. Then I checked it 24 hours later. The egg was much softer than the last time. The shell was completely dissolved. Also, the egg looked bigger than before. It felt like a rubber ball. When you looked real close at the egg, you could see a little of the yolk inside the egg. The egg looked bigger than the first time.

Reina, CA | Egg
The experiment that I did was the egg in vinegar. the first thing that I did was to get the egg and vinegar. Next, I put the egg into a cup. I then filled the cup up with vinegar.Then, I let it sit for 24 hours. After being in the vinegar for one hour, the shell started changing color. But after 24 hours, the egg was soft. It felt like a hard boiled egg out of the shell. I was also able to squeeze it without the shell breaking. It had also changed to a darker color, and smelled like vinegar.

Victor and Sam, MN | Egg
We are doing an experiment to see what happens to the egg after it spends different amounts of time in vinegar. We had a lot of fun. Here are the results.
The Egg The regular egg has a smooth shell. The egg is an oval-ish shaped shell. Once you shake it up, it'll have control of the yolk. The egg is not thick.
The Egg in Vinegar: 1 Hour After an hour, the egg had a shell that was covered in bubbles. It felt kind of rough and bumpy. The egg has no control of the yolk. If you shake the egg, you can feel the yolk shake a tiny bit.
The Egg in Vinegar: 24 Hours Sam's egg got really soft because the vinegar softens the egg and the egg fell apart. So because the egg fell apart, the yolk fell out of the egg shell, and is sitting at the bottom of the cup. The egg looked like pieces of paper floating of top of the cup. It also looked like a balloon with all of the air sucked out of it. It felt really weird because the egg was really soft, and all we did was out vinegar in it and just left it sitting in the cup for awhile. Well that's what happened to the egg when we left it in a cup with vinegar for awhile. It appears that vinegar would soften the egg. Victor and I had a lot of fun doing the experiment. Not only do we get extra credit points in Science, it's a lot of fun to spend the afternoon together doing science.

Brick, OH| Egg
4:14pm, Sunday Iput an egg into a cup filled with >vinegar
5:14pm - The liquid is foaming. It looks like the vinegar is stripping the shell from the egg. When you touch it it feels slimy.
4:14pm, Monday The egg looks like it is turning brown in the cup and there is more white "foam" around it. When I took it out of the cup, it is not brown, it is transparent - you can see the yolk inside and the egg feels heavy, almost like a rubber ball. I am leaving it in the vinegar overnight again and taking it to school to show my teacher.

Rebecca, NY | Egg
I did the egg and vinegar test. I put the whole egg in a container and covered it with vinegar. At first it floated. After 24 hours it got a little bigger. It still floated. After 24 hours it got a little bigger. It still floated. After 24 hours it was sort of yellow. The shell came off a little. Also, it was a little gray. The shell looked like eraser shavings. Then, after 48 hours, it got really big and all yellow. Also, it sank. You can squeeze it but if you squeeze it too hard it will pop. The shell came off after 48 hours. The vinegar dissolved the shell of the egg. My hypothesis was sort of correct. You can squeeze it. But I thought it would absorb all of the vinegar, but it didn't.

Jee-Yoon, MN | Egg
1. Put the egg in a bowl full of vinegar. 2:27 p.m (four hours later) There were brownish bubbles all around the egg. 4:32 p.m 3 (24hours later) 24 hours later the egg looked soft and I didn't see any egg shell pieces around the egg. 4:32 p.m (24hours later, holding it in my hand.) The egg felt like a rubber balloon, and it bounced. When I sqeezed it, that part of the egg went in.

Hazel, CA | Egg
The experiment I did was "Vinegar and Egg." First, I got a cup and household vinegar. Second, I put the egg in the cup and poured vinegar until it covered the egg. Third, I checked every hour to see what happened to the egg. These were my results: Minutes Observations 01-10 Tiny bubbles started to form on the egg 11-20 The egg bounced for 3-5 seconds 21-30 Medium bubbles started to form 31-40 The egg was spinning for 1-3 seconds 41-50 The egg was partly covered with bubbles 51-60 The bubbles began to rise *The next day, after school, I took the egg out of the cup and washed it, but the smell was still awful. The egg felt soft, squishy, felt like a balloon, and looked like an orange planet.*

Kaitlyn, MA | Egg
I put an egg in a cup with vinegar and I checked on it in an hour. The first hour bubbles started to go on the egg. The second hour the bubbles where coming off the egg and going to the top of the glass. After another hour I checked on it and the shell slowly started coming off. After I checked on it again the shell was still dissolving. There were brown particles floating on the top of the vinegar. The second day I checked on it in the morning and all the shell was off the egg. The egg felt like a rubber ball and you could see inside a little bit of the yolk. The color changed from a shell that was brown to an egg that was now off- white with light yellow on both ends of the egg. It was fun and I liked it a lot.

Lyanne, CA | Egg
The experiment I did was the Vinegar and Egg. Steps: First I filled a cup with vinegar then put the egg inside. I left it there for an hour, checked, then left it for 24 hours. Results: After I left it there for 1 hour, the egg was soft and the shell was kind of cracking. After 24 hours, the shell was mostly coming off. It looked like rubber. I tried bouncing it and it didn't crack it just rolled. These were the results to the Vinegar and Egg experiment.

Kira and Ryan, MN | Egg
We put an egg in vinegar and watched if for thirty hours. In the first couple of hours the shell started to disintegrate. There were bubbles and foam around the shell and parts of the shell were missing. It was still hard at that time. All the shell was gone in eighteen hours, but the membrane was still present. The membrane kept the egg together. It was soft and squishy. The yolk and the white fell out of the membrane a little after twenty-four hours. After the membrane dropped the yolk and white it floated at the too. We tried a second egg and it didn't fall out of the yolk. After that we let the egg dry out and it became super soft. The membrane felt like thin rubber. When we did the second egg we measured it before we put it in and then a day later we measured it again and it increased in size by about 10% and increased in weight by 40%. Then we let it out for 2 more days and stayed soft and squishy.

Bryana, MA | Egg
For my experiment I did the vinegar and egg experiment. I saw something really cool. The 1st thing I did was put an uncooked egg in a cup with vinegar. The first time I checked on it, the egg was still hard, but brown objects were floating in the cup. The egg was shedding. The second time I checked on it, more brown objects were floating around in the cup. The egg was shedding even more. The egg was starting to get sort of soft. After 24 hours the egg was really soft. I started to poke at it and the shell was getting on my finger. The egg felt like a rubber ball. The smell of the vinegar was really strong. After I washed off the shell I could see the yolk. The egg was translucent, because I could only see some of the yolk, but not all of it. This project was really fun. I never knew observing an egg could be so cool and fun.

Alicia, MN | Egg
I started this experiment Wednesday afternoon. First I put an egg in a slightly tall glass jar so I could observe it. After one hour I checked to see what had changed over time. I noticed that the egg started to get bigger than it's usual size. My grandmother and I were amazed at what had happened. The next day it had gotten larger than the day before. The skin started to peel off! I felt the shell and it was amazingly soft. It felt like a wet marshmallow, except not so squishy. I kept it in the jar one more day. The whole shell was gone and you could see into the egg. It was almost orange. I felt it and it felt like rubber. I have some questions about this. Why does the vinegar do this to the egg? Would it do it to another food with skin like a banana or an orange? Would it do this to my skin?? WOW!

Rickey, CA | Egg
The first thing I did was,put an egg into a clear glass of vineger, and let the egg sit for an hour. At the same time I would put another egg in a clear glass in vineger for a full twenty four hours.hypothesis-the egg would get smoother,and smoother by the hour.conclusion-the egg that sat in vineger for an hour would start to crack.Then the egg that sat in vineger for twenty four hours shell came off and the egg became very slimey.

Andre, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is Vinegar and Egg. To set up this project I got a cup and filled it up half way with vinegar. Then I got the egg and put it into the cup of vinegar. I noticed as soon as the egg hit the vinegar it started to get surrounded by bubbles. Little by little some white part of the egg started to go to the top. The egg was dissolving. After a while I checked the egg and felt it. It was getting softer. It seemed like it was not the same egg I started with. It did not even seem like it was an egg. After the 24 hours were up I went to look at the egg. The white stuff was at the top like white bubbles. When I took the egg out it was soft. I thought it felt like a water balloon. It was not the same as when I put the egg in at the beginning. The egg was different because the egg would not break when I dropped it on the ground. Also during the project the egg looked like it was disinflating. I think this was a great project to do for fun.

Ernie, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is the egg with vinegar. When I left it in for an hour and started to get really soft. The shell just started peeling off like foam. When I left it in vinegar for a day the egg got swollen and it changed to a yellowish color. To me there was less vinegar because it probably absorbed the vinegar. It was really weird that the eggs shell got really soft and soggy. This experiment was really fun and I really enjoyed this experiment

Daniel, CA | Egg
When I did my experiment I got a cup,1 egg and some vinegar. After the first hour my egg began to get soft. After 24 hours my egg was all yellow. The whole shell was gone. One thing I did with the egg was dropping it one inch above the ground. The second thing I did was juggling it. When I juggled the egg,it started to squirt out the yoke so I started a new one.

Enedina, CA | Egg
The experiment that I did is vinegar and egg. To do this experiment I had to buy vinegar. I already had the egg and the cup. First you put a little of vinegar in the cup then carefully put in the egg. Make sure the egg is covered with vinegar. You just observe the egg to see what happens. My observation was that the egg started to kinda peel off. It also started to make bubbles little by little until until the bubbles were around the entire egg. Also some time the egg turns in the vinegar. That is what happened on my project.

Jonathan, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is “The Vinegar Egg Bath”. I did the experiment by first pouring a cup(almost full) of vinegar. Then I plopped my egg into the cup. I then, after a certain period of time, recorded and photographed the egg’s condition. As I expected, it dissolved the egg’s shell into a skin like substance. Thus completing my experiment.

Armando, CA | Egg
First I got a cup. Then I put the egg and vinegar in the so that the vinegar covered up the egg. After the egg was in vinegar for an hour, it was still the same only the water had bubbles. After a day the egg's shell disappeared. The egg felt like a water balloon and like a boiled egg.

Andres, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is vinegar and egg. I got a transparent cup and put the egg inside the cup then I put vinegar inside to cover the egg and I looked each hour for 24 hours to see what happened. The shell of the egg keeps peeling off every hour. The egg feels very soft and a little bit hard. The egg got hard after each hour.

Guadalupe, CA | Egg
My egg ended up squishy and you could peel off the outside with your nail. My egg cracked so in the crack there was bubbles that looked like jell-o. I poked them with a stick and they didn’t pop, it is just so weird, cool I don’t know how to describe it.

Teresa, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is Vinegar and egg I got a plastic cup and put an egg inside. Then I poured in white distilled vinegar into the cup. When I barely started pouring in the vinegar the egg shells started to get covered by bubbles. In an hour the egg is filled completely with bubbles. In three hours and 20 minutes the tip of the egg has a ring of bubbles around it. In 24 hours the egg turned soft and you could see through it. I guess the disintegrated the shell because I then cut the egg in half and it has the kind of skin that looks like a plastic covering.

Angie, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is the egg and Vinegar. What I did was get a glass cup, an egg and white vinegar. Then I put the egg in the cup after I filled the cup up with vinegar so that it would cover the egg. Then I let it sit for a day. In a minute the egg had bubbles. In the next hour nothing happened. The next day the shell started getting thinner and thinner. It got so thin you could see through it. I have always wondered what it looked like in the middle of an egg and I finally found out.

Talal, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is the vinegar and egg. First I put an egg in a cup of vinegar. I noticed that the shell was covered with bubbles. I noticed it feels softer and slimier. After twenty-four hours the egg shell was very thin. I guess the vinegar ate through the shell. You really cant do any thing with the egg because it will break like mine did.

Rina, CA | Egg
1.I put an egg in a cup. 2.I put vinegar in it until it covers the whole egg. Results When I first put the egg in it start getting bubbly all around it. After an hour it felt slippery and it became very hard. It also was yellow. After 24 hours it felt like rubber and it was brown and yellow mixed together. It was also soft. Discoveries I discovered that if you drop the egg on the floor it does not break. I also discovered that it is so soft you can squeeze it and it won't break. Lastly you could put pressure on it and it won't break.

Luis, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is the vinegar and egg. In the beginning nothing happened. After the second hour the eggshell was softer. After 24 hours the egg cracked and the white part was coming out. The egg smelled nasty after a while.

Sasha, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is the vinegar and egg. I got a cup, put the egg inside and filled it up with vinegar until it was covered. After an hour has passed the shell seems to get softer. When you look inside you could see bubbles. Around this time there’s a really bad smell. After 24 hours have passed the shell got softer. The egg is sort of squishy. it also seems that there is less vinegar.

Darlene, CA | Egg
The experiment I did is the vinegar and egg. I put an egg in a small cup and filled it with apple cider vinegar. After a while the egg felt sticky. It had small bubbles all over it. Twenty four hours later the egg felt soft. The shell had decomposed. I was then curious as to what would happen if I left it in for one more day. The next day I poked it and it felt deflated. (Even though it wasn’t just air before)

Jose, CA | Egg
The experiment i did was vinegar and egg . First i got an egg,then i put the egg in the cup with vinegar . I let it in there for two days. Then i saw the egg and it was very soft. After that i finished i showed my mom the egg and she smelled it and she said it smelled nasty.
