The 'Stepping on an Egg Without Breaking It' Experiment Helps Children Love Science

Simple, easy-to-do experiments with eggs that are always available in the kitchen can make children interested in science and closer to their parents.

Eggs are not as fragile as you think.

You will need two trays of eggs (10 eggs each), a trash bag, a bucket of water, and a bar of soap.

Perform:Spread a trash bag on the floor and place two trays of eggs on it. Check to replace any cracked or broken eggs. Make sure all the eggs are facing up, either pointed or rounded.

Place one bare foot on one tray of eggs, making sure the weight is evenly distributed over all 10 eggs. You may need someone to hold your foot before placing the other foot on the other tray. If done correctly, you should be able to stand or even walk on the trays without breaking any of them. To avoid this, you can place a thin board or tile over the eggs and walk on it.

Explain:Everyone knows that eggs are fragile. But in fact, egg shells are very hard and can withstand heavy weight. The structure of an egg is very special, it can withstand great pressure provided it is evenly distributed throughout the shell..
