Bouncing an egg; is it possible?

I'm always looking for fun science experiments to do with my oldest. We have done several things over the past couple of years, but haven't tried to bounce an egg yet! So, I decided it was time to try that trusted old trick. Of course we did the whole suck an egg into a bottle thing first, which he thought was absolutely awesome and wanted to do it several more times. After a little over three long days, it's finally time. After hearing "Mom, is the egg ready?" several times a day or better yet "Is it ready to bounce, yet?" over and over. Yes, it is FINALLY the day! We are going to see if the egg will bounce today. Hopefully it works and isn't a disappointment. According to all of my research and from previous experiences it should, but this is my first time trying it with my own kids. We've studied a little bit about how or more of why the egg should bounce. Being that the shell is made up calcium carbonate and the vinegar being acid and how it causes the eggshell to react. But we shall see; wish us luck and I will blog about how it goes!

Here is the link that we used for this project, Bouncy Eggs.
