I tested how high eggs submerged in different solutions of vinegar, and for different amounts of time, can bounce before they broke. I chose this project because I saw a video about a bouncy egg and wondered how high it can bounce before breaking. My results show that stronger solutions of vinegar make eggs break higher than weaker solutions. My experiment is important because it shows how vinegar can chemically cook an egg.
Excellent work exploring how vinegar concentration affects egg strength! Your data collection over eight days and a clear graph show strong scientific thinking. I especially appreciate that you analyzed why your hypothesis did not match the results; that is what real scientists do. Keep asking questions and testing your ideas!
You transformed a classic demo into brilliant science, your quantitative approach and honest critical thinking are truly impressive!
