Here are some super simple experiments with eggs for you and your child to do at home. Adult supervision is required.
In April we usually learn about birds with our TTh 3 y/o class. The question is how can a mother bird sit on an egg without it breaking? We discover that eggs are strong.
You need four raw eggs, an egg carton (a dozen size) and a stack of books about the same size. Place the eggs in the second and fifth row.
Now carefully start stacking the books on top until you hear a crack. You will be able to get quite a stack. Back in the day I used to use encyclopedias but any books that are similar in size will work.
You will need 4-5 dozen eggs inside the container. We cover the floor and kiddos remove shoes and socks. A bucket of sudsy water and paper towels for clean up.
On top of the mat stagger the eggs. Have your child walk slowly on the eggs. We hold hands with children for safety.
Give credit where credit is due. This comes from Steve Spangler Science---
Super easy-observe what happens when you place in these liquids.
