Samuel's experiment

Samuel is getting more and more interested in science experiments and seeing how things work.  He loves to be out in the shop with Aaron working on projects.  He made me a rolling pin as an early birthday present a couple weekends ago!  Aaron got a free motorcycle from a friend and he told Samuel that if he fixed it up, he could have it. Within a day or two Samuel had it running.  It still has some problems, but it was fun to see how excited Samuel got when he was able to go out and tinker with it!

He saw a couple egg experiments on youtube and tried them out.  One was a failure, and the other one a success.  This is a video about his success.  He soaked a raw egg in vinegar and it makes a rubbery egg.  I'm sure he can still break it, but it will squish in your fingers and bounce a little on the counter.  The shell just rubbed off.

His failure had to do with fitting a whole (hard boiled) egg into a bottle that is too small.  It might've worked if we hadn't used a plastic water bottle.  The water bottle collapsed instead of sucking the egg in.  I guess our experiment kind of worked, because half of the egg was sucked in. The other half didn't.
