It is both dark and cold - autumn literally closes us and our children at home. But this is not a reason to be bored! These 7 homemade egg experiments can brighten up your leisure time
Egg garden
Do you make an omelet in the morning? Try to gently break the eggs on top, not in the middle. Rinse the shell and let dry. If you put a little land there, and a couple of seeds of some kind of vegetation, for example, wheat, you get such funny freaks.

Physics at home
Take two containers of water. Add salt to one of them. And now show your child the law of density in action: if you put an egg in salted water, it will float. And if it goes fresh, it will go to the bottom.

Bouncing egg
In the evening, put the egg in a container with 9% vinegar. You will see each other, but in the morning it will turn out to be real magic. Due to the reaction of vinegar with calcium, and exposure to carbon dioxide, the shell simply dissolves. And the insides of the egg will become like a rubber ball. It can be thrown gently and it will bounce. But do it very carefully, because the shell can burst.

Magic
Take a glass juice bottle, for example. It is important that the neck is wide, but slightly smaller than the egg itself. Light the paper and place it in the container. Now, put the pre-cooked and chilled egg without the shell on the bottle. You will see that the egg is miraculously sucked into the inside of the bottle. And very soon it will be there entirely.

Tumbler
Pierce a raw egg with a thin needle at both ends and blow the contents out of it. Now glue the hole from the side of the blunt part, and pour melted wax inside. Without changing the vertical position, allow the egg to cool. Thanks to the wax, the egg will be able to "stand" on any surface.

Silver miracle
Hold the egg with tongs over the fire for a couple of seconds. It must be completely covered with black soot. Now we lower the burnt egg into the water. And a miracle! It looks like it's made of real silver!

Bulk
Put an ordinary cardboard on a glass of water. Now on top is a toilet paper roll, on which place the egg sideways. Now, with a sharp movement of your hand, remove the cardboard from under the sleeve. Children will see how the structure scatters, and the egg gurgles straight into the glass.
