"Egg-citing" Science!: Experiments Using Eggs
You can use these "eggs-traordinary" hands on lesson plans to get students engaged in science.
Curated OER
Air Has Pressure
Seventh graders analyze evidence about particles and the exertion of air pressure. They observe an experiment with a hard boiled egg. fire and a bottle to discover the heating, cooling, and speed of air particles. They write explanations...
Curated OER
AIR PRESSURE
Sixth graders identify air pressure and how it affects objects. They experiment with one hard boiled egg in a bottle and the affects of air pressure on the egg.
Curated OER
Applied Science - Physics Pos Lab (Air Pressure)
Students examine physics. In this air movement lesson, students conduct an experiment that shows how air moves based on the pressure it's under. They watch the teacher complete the procedure and then try it on their own in a small group....
Curated OER
Earth's Atmosphere
For this Earth's atmosphere worksheet, students observe the effects of air pressure using an egg. They describe what happens to the egg and what makes it do what it does. Then they determine how to get the egg out of the bottle opening...
Curated OER
Chemistry: Egg Sucking Experiment
Students discover simple gas laws by observing an egg sucked into an Erlenmeyer flask. When the flask is warmed, the egg is placed atop it. when both are placed in ice water, the egg slips into the flask. The procedure is then reversed....
Curated OER
Science: The Changing Life of Air Pressure
Fourth graders observe demonstrations how heated air rises and becomes a low pressure area. After watching several teacher-conducted experiments, 4th graders, in groups, discuss and answer questions in their journals. Finally, they...
Curated OER
How Hot is Too Hot?
Fifth graders use the scientific method to conduct experiments on the temperature effects on organisms. In this temperature effects on organisms lesson plan, 5th graders observe and record the hatching or the developing of organisms into...
Curated OER
Oxygen: What a Gas!
Eighth graders explain how oxygen reacts to other elements. They also explain why oxygen is a reactive substance, how it has weight, and how it reacts with other substances. They construct an experiment to relate their findings.

Science Is Fun: Egg in a Bottle
An air pressure experiment that shows how to get a hard-boiled egg into a glass bottle that has a mouth smaller than the width of the egg. A lit match is used in this activity.
Hunkins Experiments
Hunkin's Experiments: Get an Egg In/out of a Bottle
Hunkin's Experiments is a group of simple cartoon illustrations of scientific principles. Some would work well in the classroom, but others have little value beyond entertaining students. An easy-to-do example includes using air pressure...
