For our first project of section 2 Elyse and I decided to make a rubber egg. To make a rubber egg you will only need an egg, vinegar, and a cup. We put the egg in the cup and fill the cup with vinegar until it cover the whole egg then waited a week. Unfortunately this time we didn't let the eggs sit in the vinegar long enough so when we tried bouncing them just a foot off the ground they broke. Looking back: Since we didn't let our egg sit in vinegar long enough it didn't work. I think we let it sit just long enough were the egg shell dissolved and just left the membrane but the egg wasn't cooked enough. Looking beyond: I am not really sure what happens on a molecular level but I do know that the vinegar actually cooks the egg. So when we dropped it and it broke the yolk and egg whites were still runny. Looking inward: We did not get desirable results because we didn't let the egg sit in the vinegar long enough so the egg wasn't cooked Looking outward: For this lab I worked with Elyse and I think we performed well, although it didn't work we are going to try again. It was my first time working with her or anyone other than Mayra. This was a great experience and I'm glad I got out of my comfort zone and worked with someone I wasn't very close to. Looking forward: If I could do this again I would let the egg sit in the vinegar longer. If I were organizing a group for the next lab activity I would definitely choose Elyse, I think we work really well together. We are continuing this project and redoing it to get better results. Takeaways; A takeaway from this lab is to do more research. Instead of just looking at one site look at a couple. I think if we did more research then we would have known to let the egg sit in the vinegar longer. Also |
