I discovered an awesome science activity pin through Pinterest… exploring gravity with raw eggs. I immediately decided that I wanted to join the cool moms club too! Stephanie over at Ordinary Life Magic gives all the step-by-step instructions to set up this exciting experiment.
All you need is a glass of water, a pie plate, a cardboard tube and a raw egg. Yes… a RAW egg. Set up the materials like in the picture. Glass of water, pie plate and cardboard tube (make sure they’re lined up well).
Then, balance your egg on top of the cardboard tube. Bait the “crowd” with a bit of karate chopping action and then swat that pie plate out of there! Check out the video footage of this awesome feat!!!
My daughter was amazed… my husband was surprised (he was expecting a broken egg, a puddle of water, a shattered glass and a wife needing first aid because of a cut hand). He was wrong… and the experiment was awesome! I have gone down in the cool mom history books.

Your daughter looks so much like you!! She’s adorable!!! Very cool mum trick indeed!!!! I think I’d put a pan underneath it all, just incase, then its just a fun way of breaking eggs in a pan!! xx
I love that she now looks like me. Up until she was two EVERYBODY said how much she looked like her dad. He always joked and said it was because she had no hair like him LOL!
Grad you enjoyed the experiment. I might try two next time.
That’s pretty awesome!

That is too cool!
That’s really interesting! I actually watched it a couple of times. I don’t understand why that works! I’ll have to look up why that is. :)
That’s amazing Mama- look forward to joining the cool mom club soon ;)
That’s great! When we did this one, our egg was slightly off center. It looked “like a lemon on the side of a water glass,” as quoted by my Jo-Jo.
If I tried that there would be egg everywhere! Great job!

I loved watching this (all three times)! All the kids crowded around to see why I was smiling so much. You are a cool mom! And I loved being able to put a voice to your face too! xoxo
