The three eggs experiment concerns 37 pre-service science teachers’ predictions about the impact
shapes of three uncooked eggs dropped from different heights. This experiment looks at energy
transformation from potential to kinetic energy, where the smaller parts of the egg shell spread far
from the center of the impact. This experience encouraged the pre-service science teachers to use
their familiar models, such as a fried egg, omelet, puddle, dropping or explosions, to explain their
predictions. These models from everyday life presented can be used as a tool to explain unfamiliar
phenomena.
