Osmosis Egg Experiment Results

Fill each container about 1/2 full of vinegar. Add about 10 drops of food coloring to each jar. Carefully place a raw egg inside each jar. Let the eggs sit for about 48-72 hours in the vinegar. Try putting other eggs in different liquids to see if they produce a different or similar reaction. When the surface of the water has a weird scummy film, the eggs are ready to come out. Remove the eggs from the jars (carefully) and rinse them in water. They are completely colored! Gently roll and bounce the eggs and watch what happens! When the kids are done admiring the eggs, break them open. The kids might be surprised to see that the egg yolk is still yellow! The high protein content of the yolk prevents the egg’s cells from absorbing the colored liquid that is absorbed by the rest of the egg.

Dissolving, Expanding, Bouncing Egg Science Experiment – Out of all the egg science experiment you can do dissolving egg shells should be at the top of every child’s to do list (a visual and tactile STEM project)

When you hold the egg with no shell it will feel damp to the touch and that’s because the liquid is starting to seep back out through the membrane. You can see this really well if you put the shell-less egg on some kitchen roll. The liquid in the shell will soak into the kitchen towel through the membrane.
