Eggs on Science

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

Experiments with objects that pupils would not expect to see in class are very motivating in physics lessons. Such unusual physics objects include eggs.

In the contribution we focus on different experiments with eggs. These experiments are suitable for teaching mechanics and can be used to show how nature uses the laws of physics in an interesting way.

We concern at the shape of an egg and the associated mechanical properties of the shell, we will use egg experiments to show the properties of rotating bodies, examine the airflow around eggs, concern on hydromechanics and other interesting egg-experiments.
