• Princeton!!!
• And Fred the egg.
Question

• What is the effect of eggs in vinegar?

 Hypothesis

• I think the eggs will turn white and become bouncy

because the calcium will be sucked out by the vinegar.

Steps Here are our steps for our egg experiment.

1. Research!!!
2. Hypothesis based on research.
3. Count the days until the brown egg becomes white.
4. In the water, peel the white out of the egg.
5. Turn the lights off and shine the egg under a flashlight.
6. Take pictures and record results.
7. Build a PowerPoint.
Research: Part 1

• The acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with the calcium
carbonate in the eggshell to make calcium acetate plus
water and carbon dioxide that you see as bubbles on the
surface of the shell. The egg looks transparent when you
shine a light through it because the hard outside shell is
gone.

This is how the egg should look like after being dunked in vinegar

Research: Part 3

• Key Words
• Calcium
• Acidic
• Egg
• Vinegar
• Acetic acid
Research : Part 4

• A little bit more about eggs

• Eggs are laid by hens.
• We eat eggs that are laid by hens, quails, peacocks,
pheasants, fish, crocodiles, and even turtles!
• Chicken eggs carry vital nutrients such as protein, fat, and
iron.
• Chicken eggs also have lutein and zeaxanthin.
Research: Part 5

• Vinegar
• Vinegar chemical formula; CH₃COOH.
• Vinegar has many flavors and uses in cooking.
• Vinaigrette is also a popular salad dressing.
Research: Part 6

• More about vinegar

• Vinegar can be used as a pesticide against some types of
bugs.
• It can also be used as a effective cleaning material.

• There isn’t a noticing since this is

day 1.

Day 2 Egg
Day 2 Observation

• Disintegration of the calcium has started!!!!!!!

Day 3 Egg
Day 3 Observation

• A little more disintegration than day 2, however not by

much.
Day 4 egg
Day 4 Observation

• This is about the same as day three, however the calcium

is drooping to the bottom of the cup.
• I think there is no change because the cups lid is closed
and there is no oxygen coming in working with the vinegar
to disintegrate the calcium on the egg.
Day 5 egg
Day 5 Observation

• Same as day 4, except there is more calcium drooping.

Bouncing and Size Difference
Exploding
Conclusion

• My original hypothesis was correct. If I had to change one

thing about this experiment, I would leave the cup lid
open. Additionally, I would try to explode the egg with the
flashlight.
