__** Altering Eggs **__ __Purpose:__ This experiment is to see how the eggshell and egg itself react to different substances such as Baking Soda, Vinegar, Soap, Water, and Toothpaste. I wanted to figure out whether the amount of the object that I was using would change the overall outcome of the experiment and which one would give the best reaction, changing it in texture, size, and shape. I chose this as an experiment because it sounded interesting and very interactive. We will use 1 egg for each substance and test it on a time period of a week. We will record how fast the egg shell will dissolve with the varying substances. For each vinegar type we used 1 cup. We used Heinz Vinegar and Great Value vinegar from Walmart

__Observations __ The first night after the experiment began you could notice many changes among the eggs. They had softened at an exceptionally quick pace and the eggs that were put into vinegar had grown a large amount in size. The name brand vinegar already seems to work more efficiently than the generic.

__Limitations__ It was hard to really measure the results or record them, they were based merely on observation as the egg deteriated. Time was not used accurately, I checked the experiment and components about every other day.

do you think the temperature would also effect anything to do with the eggs? -victoria gebhart How many eggs are you going to test on and for how long? (Lena Sander) Is there any way you can record which substance reacts best with the shell or egg? (Elijah Strange)

-How many times are you planning on doing this to the egg and the egg shell?? (Madi McCoy) (do you think the size of the egg could effect how fast the shell dissolves, maybe try to get all the same sized eggs for the experiment. T. Overly 1/10/13)
