Science Fair Projects – Egg in a Bottle
The University of Illinois provides visitors to its website with various science fair projects, including the perennial favourite – “Can air pressure alone cause an egg to be pushed into a bottle?”. Of course, it can. To make it work you’ll need an egg, a bottle, and a couple of matches. It’s all to do with air pressure differences.
But, the procedure Illinois suggests students to follow begins with “Step 1 – Peel the shells off the eggs”.
Not until further down the page (below the fold in fact) does it mention a crucial preparatory step. Can you guess what it is? Or, would you end up with egg on your face, and all over your hands?
You can watch a video of this kind of egg in a bottle experiment here.

i bet it can be for your grade to but try asking your teacher to …..
Hello,
I have a question, would this project be for 8th graders too?
Danny, I don’t see why not. But, why not just ask your teacher to double check?
can the egg in a bottle experiment be for 7th grade?? please some1 answer
Allena, I corrected your spelling of evolution (forgive me if evalution should have been corrected to evaluation, however). I don’t currently have any evolution or genetics science fair projects on the site, but there are plenty of resources elsewhere on the web. Just use the correct spelling of evolution in Google ;-)
