How to Make a Naked Egg with Chemistry

SciShow Kids

In this engaging episode of SciShow Kids, host Jessi and her robot mouse friend Squeaks demonstrate a classic kitchen science experiment: creating a "naked" egg. The video guides viewers through a multi-day process where a raw egg is submerged in vinegar to dissolve its shell, leaving behind only the delicate membrane. The experiment continues by placing the now shell-less egg into corn syrup, demonstrating how water moves in and out of the egg through the membrane, causing it to dramatically shrink.
