Have you ever tried to crush an egg in your hand!? Seems pretty easy right!?
Wait until you experience how nearly impossible it is to crush an egg by squeezing it with all the strength you can muster!
This impossible egg crush experiment is a great way to demonstrate to kids how something as fragile as an egg can actually hold up to a lot of pressure thanks to the unique shape of the egg.
Supplies needed to try this breaking an egg with one hand experiment:
A Raw Egg
A Ring
A Plate
Your Hand
The science behind why an egg won't break when squeezed in your hand:
The unique shape of an egg gives it an incredible strength to withstand the force of your hand squeezing it.
The ends of an egg are the strongest points and act similar to the architectural design of an arch.
This shape of the egg disperses the pressure on the egg throughout the whole surface area of the eggshell.
This makes it nearly impossible to crush an egg when your hand is wrapped around the egg and creating a lot of pressure dispersed over the whole egg.
But when a ring is placed on your finger and the egg is squeezed, the egg will break much easier.
This is because the force is concentrated into a small area where the ring and the egg contact each other.
