I got a pan and had him crack both eggs open, didn't tell him which egg was raw or cooked. After exploring the difference we talked about them.
We compared the shell, yolk and albumen.
What Jake had to say about each.
Raw: Cooked:
Shell: Smooth and white Smooth and white
Yolk: Orange, gooy, and liquid Yellow, crumbly, solid
Albumen: Feels like slime, clear Feels like rubber and white
This was a very simple experiment and Jake was so excited to brake the eggs open. He asked if he could do it again. You can tell braking the raw egg open was his favorite. (Be sure to have kids wash their hands right away after doing this).

I love this idea! It is an awesome concept to explore with kids. This could be used in so many different ways. I will definitely keep this in mind for when my little one is older!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes it is a great way for them to explore and my son loved it.
