All About Eggs

To begin with our egg was...white, shiny, hard, bumpy, big, and clean.  It looked like a tooth with no cracks and sounded hard then you tapped on it.

We put the egg in vinegar.  The vinegar was clear, like water and it had bubbles around the egg.  At first, the egg sunk to the bottom of the jar.  After a little while, it started to float and move around the cup.

The egg will blow up.
The egg will turn colors.
The egg will explode.
The egg will crack.
The egg will float.
The egg will sink.

Here's our egg after a day.  It was yellowish and had bubbles all over it.  It almost looked fuzzy because of so many bubbles.

This is the egg out of the vinegar.  The shell had disappeared and only the skin was left.  Did you know that eggs have a skin inside the shell?  The egg felt squishy, and we could bounce it on the plate.  Words that the "K" Kids used to describe the egg now were:  squishy, soft, bouncy, gooey, smelly, stinky, bubbly, and cold.

Here's the egg after we broke the skin.

We cooked eggs of different styles and graphed our favorite.

We read Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham.  Then we made green eggs.  Since we didn't have ham.  Aden said, "We're having green eggs and math because we just made a graph of our favorite kind of egg!"

Have you ever tried to break and egg by pushing on the end?  Ciara couldn't do it.

Andrew couldn't do it!

Ms. Townsend tried to break the egg.

Mrs. Moneymaker couldn't do it either. 

We couldn't do it so we thought maybe Mr. Cumming could do it for us.  He couldn't do it either!  We thought maybe Mrs. Brockhaus had a rock painted like a fake egg.  We were shocked when she broke the egg on the table!
