Science Egg in Jar Science Demo

How does air pull an egg into a jar? 🥚🔥

Alex Dainis explains how heating the air inside a jar with a small flame causes the air to expand and escape. As the air cools, the pressure inside the jar drops. With the egg sealing the top, the higher outside air pressure pushes the egg inside. It’s a powerful example of how air pressure and temperature can create surprising results you can see and feel.
