So it got me thinking...I have used this trick for years, but wondered what causes them to float. I found the info here. When the egg is laid, an air pocket forms as it cools. As an egg ages, fluid evaporates through the porous eggshell and gas and oxygen filter in causing the egg to be more buoyant and float!
There! You got a science lesson for the day as well as a tip! Time for me to go make some scrambled eggs.
Funny, I never thought why that actually happened either! Great info - I'm sure my kids will ask me about this one day! Thanks so much for dropping by my blog and commenting on my fabric flowers. Your email is set to no reply so I just wanted to let you know that I answered your question directly on the post. Have a great week!
