We are studying birds in science this year, using Exploring Creation with Zoology 1: Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day. 

This week, our focus was on eggs.  The kids have been learning a lot and they have been having fun doing it!  They especially enjoyed this experiment:

Have you ever tried to squeeze an egg before?  I have to admit, we were dubious at first.  We didn't trust that it would work, so we began squeezing over the sink, gently closing our hands around the eggs.  But as we progressed, we began to realize that these eggs really were durable!  As long as you apply equal pressure, you cannot break an egg when squeezing.  And trust me, we squeezed hard! 

Who knew?

This looks like a fun study! Did the eggs ever break?

I think we will try this. I bet my seven year old would like trying that.
