17/54 Naked Egg

   The next two experiments will take time, most of them do. It is because these two experiments involve the same slow reaction. All right then, let’s get to it! The preparation is quick and easy. All we have to do is take a raw egg and cover it in vinegar. Then set it on the shelf.

 The spoon’s purpose in this experiment is to keep the egg from floating. This is so cool, we can see the reaction already taking place!

This is a close-up picture of the surface of the egg. What do you notice? Bubbles!! The “deshelling” process has BEGUN!!!
In 24 hours I will dump the vinegar and submerge the egg with fresh vinegar. Then I will leave the egg sitting in the vinegar for 7 days. I will take a picture every day at the same time and post it so that you can see the changes. Stay tuned!
