Did you know that most people can’t crack an egg with only one hand without whacking it on something? The shell of an egg is quite strong! Try this over a sink and see if you can figure out the secret to cracking an egg in the palm of your hand…(Hint: the answer is below the video – check it out after you’ve tried it first!)


How can you tell if an egg is cooked or raw? Simply spin it on the counter and you’ll get a quick physics lesson in inertia…although you might not know it. A raw egg is all sloshy inside, and will spin slow and wobbly. A cooked egg is all one solid chunk, so it spins quickly. Remember the Chicken and the Clam experiment?

  1. There is some overlap with the program, some of the basics are reiterated again in the high school section for review. You should have access to it. You are able to request access for any grade level you like, and all the content will be unlocked.

    Hi, I was wondering why this lesson is listed under grade two, but when I try and access it it tells me that it is advanced content for grades 9-12?
