Experiment with an egg

Try this science experiment with your child: Place a raw egg (in its shell) into a container with a lid. Pour in enough vinegar to cover the egg. Put the lid on. After two or three days, discard the vinegar. Touch the egg. Ask your child, "What do you think happened to the eggshell?" (It dissolved, leaving only the inner membrane to keep the egg together.) The rubbery egg can be gently bounced (from a low height) and squeezed.
