ADULT SUPERVISION

1 hard boiled egg, peeled

1 glass jar or bottle with a smooth

opening smaller than the egg

(up to 1 centimeter smaller)

Matches

A Piece of Paper, about 1 to 6 inches,

lightly twisted

Cooking Oil

HELP FROM AN ADULT

Rub a little cooking oil around the Jar's opening

DO THE FOLLOWING STEPS VERY QUICKLY

Light the paper and drop it into the jar

Put the Egg in the opening

The egg should rattle a bit, then get sucked into the jar.

Why does it Work?

The flames heat the air inside the bottle,

which makes the air expand, as the air expands, some of it escapes from the bottle around the egg.

Then, when the air cools, it contracts.

That creates a suction that pulls the egg inside.

Have Fun
