Ingredients:
Instructions: You can conduct many experiments with a chicken egg. For example, show the child that a boiled egg spins like a top while a raw one does not. For the accuracy of the experiment, you can crack the raw egg and peel the boiled one so the child can see the contents inside. But before cracking the raw egg, submerge it in a glass of plain water and then in a glass with a robust salt solution. Observe where the egg sinks to the bottom and where it stays afloat.
