Jun. 10, 2008 - Bones and Calcium...
Posted in Skool

This is THE coolest science experiment in the world.
It's cheap and simple and has amazing results. 
That means it's my kind of science!

First, you put some cleaned up chicken bones in a container:

With me so far?

Then you pour vinegar over the bones:

We still good?

Then you put the lid on the jar:

See? Even I can do that!

Now you just put it aside for two weeks.

Ok, we had unexpected company so ours sat for two weeks and two days.
No problem! Just make sure it's at least two weeks...

I won't show you the results since it would ruin all the fun.
But it is amazing!

Knowing that the acid in vinegar dissolves calcium-
Ask the questions:
1. How have the chicken bones changed?
2. What would happen to our bodies without calcium?

And if you want to go further with it:
Bones and Calcium

We did this in November with the turkey wishbone and forgot about it for about a month. When my son remebered it, the results were cool. But what was interesting was what happened after we left it out of the vinegar on the counter for about 2 more weeks. :)

This experiment is in one of the kids' books, and I've wanted to try it. Just the thought of a nasty chicken bone sitting around for 2 weeks--doesn't it stink when you open the jar? I guess maybe the vinegar covers up the odor? Anyway, you make it look easy--and even a little cool--so maybe we'll give it a try!

You're teasing me....just tell me what happens! Oh, okay, I guess we could try that. Instead of the kids fighting over the next wishbone, we'll dunk it in vinegar for a couple of weeks. Besides, a little chicken bone in a jar would make a lovely, conversational centerpiece for our next dinner party....

Most cool. Currently, all of our chickens are alive, so I'll have to wait awhile until I get some chicken bones. But we will do this one!

This is my kind of experiment too. We have tried this and it is really neat. We've also tried the coke and bacon one.
