NAKED eggs!

NAKED???  You read that right!  Our week-long science lesson was the making of/experimenting on Naked Eggs.  What IS a naked egg, you ask.  Well... a naked egg is an egg (in it's raw form) where the shell has been removed leaving only the membrane holding in the contents of the egg (whites and yolk).  Very cool?  I think YES!  You have GOT to try this at least once.  Here's your how-to...

What you will need...
  • An egg
  • Vinegar enough to soak an egg in twice.
  • A container
  • 48 hours time
Let's get started. Stay with me through the whole 5 steps that follow  ;-)  ...

Put egg in container and add enough vinegar to cover egg
Wait 24 hours
Wipe the white "slime" (yes, that IS the technical name) off of the egg
 Soak in fresh vinegar for another 24 hours. 
TA DA!  You have a NAKED EGG!
 
We took our naked eggs and turned them into a whole week worth of experimenting (see next posts on Naked Egg FuN 1, 2 & 3)

Shrink it (see next post), bounce it, roll it, squish it. But keep in mind it WILL be messy and it WILL break!
