Today we created rubber bouncy balls out of egg!  We soaked eggs in different different solutions (vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, and lemon lime soda) for three days!  We wanted to see which acidic liquid could dissolve the egg shells the best.  By looking at our results, we realized that only acetic acids, not citric acids, breakdown eggshell.  We were able to smell and touch the rubbery and bouncy raw eggs!

bouncy egg project was so much fun! It was cool how the eggs were hard. It would be cool if they could actually bounce!
