Young learners from Winners Wynd took their science experiment outdoors today, eager to explore how everyday materials can create surprising reactions. Their investigation focused on observing what happens when vinegar reacts with an eggshell, dissolving the calcium carbonate and leaving behind a flexible, bouncy membrane.

The children watched closely as bubbles formed on the shell, signalling the chemical reaction taking place. Once the shell dissolved, they were able to gently test their newly created “bouncy eggs” and discuss the changes they observed.

Back in class, these young scientists used their findings to write functional lab reports, describing the process, recording observations and reflecting on the results. Their writing was thoughtful, detailed, and full of curiosity — truly amazing work.
