Science Experiment With Eggs
Students participate in four scientific experiments with eggs. They discuss egg vocabulary, and examine the eggs' attributes through the experiments. They focus on making educated guesses.
LABScI
Cell Diffusion and Permeability: The See-Thru Egg Lab
Create a model to study a microscopic phenomenon. The seventh of 12 lessons uses an egg (without its shell) to represent a cell membrane. Using different solutions, learners explore the concept of cell diffusion. They monitor...

"Easter" Egg Genetics
Using plastic Easter eggs to represent parent phenotypes, genetics enthusiasts simulate the passing of alleles. They record the phenotype of each half of the egg, one representing the mother's and one representing the father's. They...
Curated OER
Science Egg Experiment
Students examine and hypothesize about hard cooked and raw eggs before experimenting to see which one cracks more easily when dropped in a bucket. They open both eggs and compare them using a Venn diagram. They design a presentation...

Bird Eggs
Students perform an experiment with different types of bird eggs to determine what factors make them strong and able to stay on a cliff without rolling off.
American Chemical Society
Chemical Reactions and Engineering Design
Construction leads to habitat loss and local wildlife suffers. Scholars must build a reptile egg incubation device that meets many constraints. Various experiments help them discover the chemical reaction needed to reach the proper...
