Marco and I were thinking of quick and easy experiments that we could let sit over spring break and our classmates Indigo and Audrey told us that this would be a good idea. The materials we used for this project were two eggs, vinegar, and a flask. When we came back from spring break the eggs were like jello. It was very similar to a boiled egg except for without a white color. The eggs popped really easy when we threw it down and when it popped it left like a rubber out shell that kind of looked popped bubble gum bubble.
Science:
When the egg is put in vinegar it produces a chemical reaction between the acetic acid and calcium carbonate in the egg. When this happens it produces carbon dioxide gas which we saw on the shell.

Looking Back:
The results of the experiment were really great and they were everything that everyone told me that it would be. We left the eggs longer than what they were supposed to be in and which made them easier to handle without popping.
Looking Beyond:
On a molecular level I noticed plenty of bubbles all over the egg which was carbon dioxide gas. It was so slippery when we took it out was hard to hold because it was so slippery. But because of the long time we left it in the vinegar.
Looking Inward:
Yes I got very desirable results, somethings that contributed to the desirable results was the precision and amount of research we did before doing the project. I think I performed very well on the project although we didn't really do that much the vinegar dissolved the eggshell by itself.
Looking Outward:
I worked with just Marco on this project because Nayeli was out of town and we did not get distracted or really have to work together because this was over spring break but when we came back we were a little silly but we did understand why the eggs acted that way because of the chemical reaction and we got a little technical.
Looking Forward:
If I could do this again I would multiple different eggs together because on different days to see which eggs would act different like which eggs would be more rubbery or which one would pop easiest.
Take aways:
Some take aways or skills I got from this project is just knowing the chemistry behind this project and I could teach people this so I guess I have some wisdom for this project.
