The egg experiment showed that eggs could be balanced on days other than the equinox.My students were able to balance eggs the week before the equinox,on the equinox, and the following week as well. Some stuents suggested that to really prove the equinox didn't affect the eggs we should have tested them in January.Our results surprised my students most of whom doubted the eggs would balance any day.The longest we were able to get an egg to balance was 2 days,another surprise to my students.We really enjoyed the activity.
