Young Scientist Lab: The Everyday Science of Eggs
Crack into the anatomy of an egg with an experiment that lets students test a hypothesis and explain their findings visually.
GUIDING QUESTION
What is the anatomy of an egg? How will understanding the properties allow for different
outcomes when mixing and working with eggs?
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will be able to:
• describe the physical characteristics of an egg.
• write a hypothesis about how an egg white will react when beaten.
• conduct an experiment to test their hypothesis.
• create a visual representation that explains the science behind beating egg whites.
OVERVIEW
Eggs are often called “incredible” and “edible,” but did you also know they are a great tool
for teaching science? In this lesson, students will be introduced to the anatomy of an egg and
how egg proteins change when they are heated, beaten and conduct an experiment to test
their hypothesis. Then they will explain the science behind this reaction and create a visual
representation to illustrate it.
