Inquiry: What will happen to the egg?

This week we did a science experiment to see what would happen to a raw egg if placed in vinegar. We also put food colouring in one of the beakers to see what would happen. Our experiences are chronicled below:

Day 1:

Predictions

Je pense que l'oeuf va être rouge-Peyton

Je pense que la vinaigre va devenir rouge-Hayden

Les boules sortent parce que le vinaigre c'est sur l'oeuf et le bubbles come out of it- Madison R.

Maybe the egg is gonna crack in the night-Hayden

Je pense que l'oeuf va devenir plus rouge- Peyton

Ils deviennent plus grands-Aiden
They're going to get petit because the vinaigre is going to get them plus petit-Taylor
Je pense que the inside might turn rotten.  The rouge one or it might be cooked because of the food colouring and the vinegar.  -Hayden

Observations

Le colorante c'est sur l'oeuf- Kate

Le colorante c'est en haut et en bas-Hayden

Day 2: 

Observations and Predictions

The glass with no food colouring:

Je vois la it was kind of bubbly at the top- Isabelle 

Je vois I see bumpy things on the egg- Avery

L'oeuf est grand- Taylor

Je vois il y a les boules sur le oeuf- Kate

The glass with food colouring:

Je pense que l'oeuf a brisé dedans and it's going to be very gross and yucky- Peyton

Le vinaigre is gonna get the egg is going to crack inside-Hayden

It will grow bigger-Zackery

It's gonna pop open- Madison S. 

Next we asked the students what would happen if we picked up the egg and the children shared their thoughts: 

It will feel like sand- Jake

It's gonna feel like rotten. Stinky and soft- Isaac

It's gonna be squishy- Rowan

It's gonna be rouge and squishy- Teagan

We decided to wait until the next day to touch it. 

Day 3: 

Observations and Predictions:

Only the white egg was tested. 

Comment se sent l'oeuf?

Squishy and soft - Isabelle

L'oeuf a grandi. - tout le monde

C'est quelle couleur?

It's covered in a peachy colour because of the vinegar -Peyton

Qu'est-ce qui va arriver si je le lave dans l'eau?

L'oeuf va tourner un petit peu blanc - Kate

Qu'est-ce qui va arriver si l'oeuf tombe sur la table? 

It will explode. - Kevin

It will crack - Teagan

It will bounce - Isabelle

We tested it and it bounced on the table.

Day 4:

Looking at the eggs, Hayden observed that the white egg was "plus jaune". 

When asked what would happen to the red one students said:

Il va sauter- Teagan

C'est la même-Hayden

What will happen when it's rinsed? 

It's going to be like the other one-Mack

Answer: C'est rouge-Isabelle

Observations:

It's soft-Olivia

It's squishy-Isaac

We decided to drop it on the table and the students made the following predictions: 

I think it will bounce- Avery , Rowan, Isaac, Isabelle, Hayden, Aiden, Jake, Teagan, Zackery, Elena, Madison S.

It will break-Taylor, Kate, Madison R., Kevin, Hayden. 

When dropped from a small height, it bounced.

From a little higher, it cracked. 

Why did it break?

You had it tomber from trop haut-Kevin

It cracked on the table because the table was too hard-Isaac

Je pense que la table est hard et l'oeuf a brisé parce que c'est trop haut-Madison R. 

Day 5: 

C'était doux. It felt even softer than before. -Mme Mazzalonga 

When a student tried to pick it up, it broke. The vinegar made the shell so thin that touching it made it pop. The shell did not stay in one piece like yesterday's egg, it was so thin that it just broke into pieces.
