Egg in a Bottle
Eggs aren't just for eating!  Did you know you can do some cool science experiments
with eggs?

Ingredients
Hard Boiled Egg
One Jar with a 1/2 Inch Round Neck
Matches
Paper

Instructions
STEP 1: Light a small piece of paper on fire with the matches and immediately place the paper in the jar.
STEP 2:  QUICKLY put the egg on the opening of the jar and watch.

Explanation
As the air pressure in the jar decreases the higher air pressure outside the jar pushes
the egg through the small opening and into the jar.
