DemoRubber Egg
Resource Guide
Egg feels rubbery and can bounce slightly.
Ask students to predict what will happen. Bounce prepared de-shelled egg gently from low height.
Key idea: Acid dissolves calcium carbonate shell, leaving flexible membrane.
Ask: Where did the hard shell go?
Safety and cleanup: Teacher handles raw egg; wash hands.
