Heard of ships in a bottle and ever wondered how they fit them? Well, have you ever heard of an egg in a bottle? With four simple steps you can conquer the egg in the bottle!
THINGS YOU NEED:
Bottle big enough to hold an egg on the top
An egg
Matches
Small piece of paper
Pan
Water
STEP 1: Put the water in the pan, put an egg in the water and wait until boiled. Peel the egg.
STEP 2: Get the paper, match, bottle and hard boiled egg out.
STEP 3: You need to do this fast so light the paper then put it in the bottle, blow the match out not the paper and put the boiled egg on the top of the rim.
STEP 4: Now watch and wait for the magic to happen.
And now for the boring part: The only reason this trick works is because the burning paper burns up all the oxygen inside the bottle making the air pressure outside the bottle much larger causing the egg to get sucked into the bottle.

Hi George, that is very interesting about air pressure. You must have been listening to learn that information. (Bridgitte)
