You can dip an egg in water and pull it out completely dry, thanks to cinnamon! 🥚✨🧪 Due to its coating in natural oils, cinnamon powder is hydrophobic and repels water on contact. That’s why you can press an egg into a bowl of cinnamon underwater and pull it out ... Watch the video here:

Today’s students interact with technology constantly, so giving them the tools to question what’s happening behind the scenes matters more than ever. Helping learners move from simply using technology to truly understanding it is one of the most powerful shifts we can make in STEM education.
