Try other types of eggs — white vs. Materials Raw Egg Glass or Jar Vinegar Instructions Get a raw egg and carefully place it into a glass or jar Fill the glass with white vinegar until the egg is completely submerged Leave the egg in the glass for days.
Each day check back on the egg. When the egg has started to become translucent you will know it is ready. Remove the egg from the glass and rinse it under some tap water. While rinsing the egg gently rub the outside of the egg and the white film will come off leaving you will a translucent egg. Examine the egg. Then lift the egg inches in the air, let go and watch it bounce. Helpful Tip: And be sure to do the bouncing on a plate or other container…just in case. When you are ready for some messy fun, lift the egg a little higher in the air and let it go….

Comments this website was extremely helpful. How long should I wait accurately to turn the egg bouncy. You need to wait at a minimum of two days before bouncing the egg. Hi you have to wait for a maximum of days till it bounces. We think the calicium on the egg shell dissolves with the vinegar which is an acid. Are we correct? It helped me a lot for my science project at school!
Be careful though, it can turn into messy play if the egg is dropped from too high! The Science Behind It: The shell of an egg is made of calcium carbonate!
When the egg is placed into the vinegar, you see bubbles, which is the chemical reaction of the acid within the vinegar reacting with the calcium carbonate of the egg shell to produce carbon dioxide. Would you believe us if we told you we could make an egg bounce without breaking?
Materials Needed: An Egg Glass or jar White Vinegar Step 1: Gently and carefully place raw egg in shell in the glass or jar Step 2: Fill the glass or jar with white vinegar until the egg is completely submerged Step 3: Patience! The calcium carbonate will become carbon dioxide gas, which will go into the air.
What is left is the soft tissue that lined the inside of the eggshell. It will bounce! Science Experiment Idea : Make three bouncing eggs. Soak one egg in vinegar for 24 hours 1 day , one egg for 48 hours 2 days and one egg for 72 hours 3 days. How do the eggs look when done soaking? How does each egg behave when you try to bounce it?
