So for this lab we deiced to put a egg in a cup and add vinegar to it to watch the reaction.
The science behind this experiment was pretty straight forward its used to witness the importance of calcium for healthy teeth and bones. And how our bones and teeth become after the egg is put to testing. The vinegar reacts with the eggshells calcium. Because the vinegar is a mild acid. The eggshells solid calcium carbonate crystal makes and holds the shell together. When it hits soak in the vinegar, the acid breaks up the calcium. When is breaks it up the shell then begins to free itself and floats above the egg. Then leaving the egg to be rubbery.
The steps for this were also really simple place the egg in glass make sure its empty, pour the vinegar inside covering the egg all the way, wait several days and take the egg out of the vinegar.
We have to wait out a couple of days and make sure the egg is not disturbed, so you can get the results you will want.

Safety is a really big part in chemistry but for this project there really isn't anything harmful in the beginning since we are dealing with an egg and vinegar. But throughout the project there could be a chemical exposure with the vinegar and egg so we will used gloves at all times so we wouldn't catch anything.
Over all this lab went great, I noticed the eggs were getting a weird shape and off color from the original and the smell it was giving was bad but those are just some steps it goes through over time and whats supposed to happen in the process of this lab. My partner and I worked worked really well and fast and got all of our work dine fast and safe I wouldn't change anything different. This lab was really interesting view the type pf reaction it gives and you really observe when you pay attention to everything going on.
