Purpose
Is an egg similar to a human cell?
Hypothesis
If the egg is put in milk, then the shell will grow back. According to Mama Natural, “High-quality eggshells contain 27 essential microelements but they’re mostly composed of calcium carbonate, a form and structure that’s very similar to our bones and teeth.” Also, according to My Plastic Free Life, “eggshell powder contains roughly 400 milligrams of calcium per gram.” Since the milk I use, 2% Fat, has 295 milligrams in one cup, it may start a growth of a new egg shell over 24 hours.

Put it in a new batch of vinegar and after that, do the same thing you did the last day. After the last vinegar test, put the eggs in one cup of water each. Leave them in for around 24 hours. After they are done, check the circumference and record any differences in the eggs. Then, put the two eggs in one cup of water that is in each mug. Wait 24 more hours and then take the eggs out of their mugs. Take notes on the eggs and then do the same thing you did the last day.
After the last water test, put the eggs in one cup of water each. Let the eggs sit for 24 more hours. Get your food color water ready for the test by getting a cup of water and putting at least 9 drops of food color. Put a cup of the food color water in each of the mugs. Let the eggs sit for 24 hours. Then, take the eggs out and record any notes about the eggs.
Get your salt water ready by mixing a half cup of salt with 1 cup of water for each mug. Put a cup of salt water in each of the mugs. Let the eggs sit for 24 hours. Then, take the eggs out and record any notes about the eggs. Then repeat the process for another
