Egg in a bottle | Eggs sucked into a jar | Cool Science experiment for kids
Here's an egg and here's a bottle. Imagine if the bottle was hungry, and wanted to eat the egg??
How would it??
Can you feed the bottle with an egg??
Lemme try to push it in...haha it won't go in!!
Ouch...it might even break..oops...lesson 1 never try this trick with a raw egg!!
Ok...here's the trick of getting the egg into the bottle without breaking it!!
You'll learn some fundamentals about heat and pressure with this simple experiment.
For this experiment You'll need
• A Hard Boiled Egg
• Bottle (with a small mouth)
• Wire (fine)
• A Candle
Some Matches
Procedure
• Boil an egg. I'm sure you guys know how to ;)
• Peel off the egg shell carefully.
• Now, light a candle using a matchstick.
• Place the candle in the bottle with the help of a wire. This would need a lot of patience. Do it, slowly and steadily.
• Keep the egg on the mouth of the jar.
• Now, observe the bottle carefully.
• In some time, egg gets sucked into the bottle.
Explanation
The burning candle inside the bottle heats the air molecules in the bottle and causes the molecules to move far away from each other.
Some of these molecules actually escape out of the bottle, past the egg which is resting on the mouth of the bottle.
Once these air molecules escape out of the bottle, the candle flame goes out, because of the lack of oxygen. The volume of air in the bottle decreases and this causes the molecules to cool down and they move closer to each other, thereby creating a temporary vacuum in the bottle.
And so this vacuum in the bottle starts sucking in the egg inside and the egg slowly gets pulled inside the bottle.
You can try doing this experiment with multiple candles inside the bottle.
Or you also use a piece of paper instead of the candle. Just burn the paper and put it into the glass. Remember to use a glass when trying this experiment with a paper instead of a plastic bottle.
Throw the burning paper and place the egg softly on the mouth of the glass jar. And observe how the glass jar sucks the egg inside.
Now the challenge is to bring the egg out of the bottle!
Let us know if you could manage this one!!
