More science.

Yesterday, we decided to start several science experiments. We wanted to do biology, chemistry and physics...I think we managed it quite well.

The first, is showing the effect of an acid on an alkaline egg shell.

You need only 3 pieces of equipment. A jar, an egg, and some vinegar. We used white vinegar because that way you can see the egg better.

Just pop the egg into the jar, cover with vinegar and leave for at least 24 hours.

Eventually, the shell is supposed to dissolve away, leaving the egg membrane intact, creating a soft shelled egg.

I'm thinking it may take more than 24 hours, but it can sit in the jar for as long as it takes, and we'll simply keep an eye on it and record our findings as and when they happen.

 The next experiment was creating our own coloured flowers. We opted for blue and green inks in the water, and could only find white carnations to use (although the type of flower doesn't really matter).

We popped them in to jars which had the coloured water in them, and will wait patiently until they begin to change. (for progress reports, and final conclusions, watch this space).

This is Ethan explaining our third experiment, which showed the effects of aerodynamics with the use of a candle, and a bottle. It's his first televisual debut, and I think he did rather well.

(Apologies for the poor quality of the recording, I only had my phone to hand, and it's one of those ancient things which hasn't really caught up with the digital age yet. Future videos will be more watchable).
