It's a Naked Egg!



 So I got this idea from my mother in law.

So how do you get an egg like this??

Things you will need:
An Egg
Vinegar
a cup
food coloring (optional)

Just put an egg in a cup and fill it with apple cider vinegar till egg is covered. Then let it sit. I believe it needs to sit for 24 hours or longer? Once the hard shell is completely off the egg, you rinse off the egg. It's a rubber egg! Be careful though! It is bouncy but it could possibly break. Here is a picture of a broken rubber egg. :)

Hint from Online: If you place the "naked egg" in corn syrup, it will shrink/shrivel up. The vinegar inside the egg moves through the semi-permeable membrane. You can then place it in water with food coloring and "color" the inside of the egg and it will fill up again due to osmosis.

Have fun with this neat little project and enjoy!
