Eggs are fun to dye and bake and boil, but did you know they're lots of fun to use in science experiments too? From walking on eggshells (literally) to turning an eggshell invisible, these are a few ideas that will interest even the science-leery.
Keep reading to discover six ways you can use eggs in fun new ways.
Squeeze an egg into a bottle (h/t Steve Spangler Science)
This truly stunning piece of science lets you send an egg through an impossibly small hole, without smashing it. This trick showcases the powerful force of air pressure.

Egg crystals (h/t Feels like Home)
Growing crystals in a glass jar is impressive. Growing crystals in an eggshell is an entirely different experiment. You'll need to buy a few specialty supplies and have a dose of patience, but the results are well worth it.

Egg buoyancy (h/t Owlcation)
This simple experiment shows how salt levels in water affect buoyancy. You can play around with water levels and salt content to see which mixture helps the egg float best. What do you think will happen?

The incredible, unbreakable egg (h/t Science Sparks)
How hard can it be to break a raw egg with one hand? It's surprisingly tricky if you hold it the right way.

Disappearing egg (h/t Premeditated Leftovers)
There's a little bit of mystery and magic with this experiment. Did you know you can make an eggshell disappear? If this sounds like a riddle that can't be solved, you need to see this experiment in action.
