How an egg could hold up a house!

You will need:
Eggs
3 Bricks
Tape
Scissors

Break the eggs carefully at the narrow end – make a hole just big enough to
let out the white and yolk.

Stick the tape all the way around the widest part of the egg

Draw a line around the egg, following the tape.

Carefully use the scissors to score along this line.  This will help you to break the shell away cleanly.  You might need an adult to help!

Break off pieces of the egg shell from the broken part up to the line

Carefully snip around the edge, making it neat and straight.

If there are any cracks in the egg you’ll have to start another!

Repeat this for 3 more eggs…

Set out the 4 eggs as if they were in the corners of a rectangle.

And now to see how strong an egg really is…place a heavy book or even a brick on top of the eggs!

How much weight can they take?!
