How to---
This is a great experiment and totally amazes the children. You will need:
4 eggs
1 egg carton
A sheet of paper (paper towels, wax paper)
A 2 foot stack of hardback books that are about the same size and weight (we use our hardback I SPY books)
Now place the eggs in the second and fifth row of the egg carton with the pointy part of the egg facing down. Place a sheet of paper over the eggs in case of breakage. Now here comes the egg-citing part. Begin to put the books on one at a time.
We want them to see how strong the egg is and how a mother bird can sit on her eggs and they don't break.
So now the children know eggs are strong. Could we walk on eggs? Yes, we can! We ask for volunteers and most of the children were eager to try it!
I'm a huge Steve Spangler fan and found this experiment on his website. Check it with your child! There are lots of fun experiments and activities you and your child can try at home.
