Science Projects From An Egg

I have a great science project to do and it is very easy. Make sure you have your parents present or help you with this since it does require using matches.

Get a glass bottle that is fairly tall and can hold an egg in the mouth of the bottle. Make sure the egg can sit in the mouth a little bit but not fall through. Also you want to make sure it is not just perched on the top of the bottle opening. It should fit into the opening slightly.

You will want a hard boiled egg. If you do not have one you will need to cook it. Take a small pot or saucepan and put the egg in the pot and cover with water just until the water covers the top. Turn on the burner and wait until the water comes to a boil. Let it boil for 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and drain the water, but be careful not to burn yourself with the hot water. There is a lot of steam from boiling water. You may want a parent to help you with this. Let the egg cool before you peel it.

Once it is peeled you are ready to begin the experiment.

Now have three matches ready to go.

Make sure the bottle is clean and does not have water or other fluid inside of it.

Light each match and quickly drop into the bottle while still lit and there is flame. Light the next one right away and throw it into the bottle and light the last match and once again while it is still burning drop it into the bottom of the bottle.

Now place the egg on top of the bottle opening and sit back and wait.

After a short time the egg will fall through the bottle. Once it falls through the hole the egg will not be able to come back out.
You can use a fork or knife to get inside the break up the egg to remove it.
