Can you get an egg in a bottle?

Can you get an egg into a bottle even when it seems not to fit?

Well the kids in Room 10 tried.

Mrs Nicholson thought she had found the perfect container but after she had taken the shell off the egg it just fell straight into the jar.

So that was no good.

Next she found a drink bottle.

The bottle had to sit in hot water for five minutes.

Then the bottle was moved to sit in a bag of ice. The egg wasa placed on top of the bottle, pointy end down.

As we watched we wondered what would happen.

Titan thought the ice would melt. Six kids agreed with him.

Lilly and Rhys thought the ice would go misty and steamy.

Michael thought that the egg would get stuck on top and it definitely did but then something else happened.

Kyle thought the egg would pop up.

Desiree thought the egg would go through the hole and fall into the bottle. Ten kids agreed with her.

Aidan thought the egg would turn blue.

Sophie thought the egg might freeze. Four other kids thought this might happen too.

What happened and Why?

The egg did fall into the bottle because the air pressure inside the bottle changed. We were all really amazed!
