Egg in a bottle?????

Question

hey people i am homeschooled and am doing a science exsperiment. My exsperiment is that when i burn a piece of papper and put a big egg on top of the bottle it will suck it in. So i need some help.

Where can i do research of past projects similar to this one?

In your opion what should my hypothisis be. I think it should be wheather or not the size of the piece of paper or size of the bottle effects it. So if you could help my out with those two things that would be great

As for the hypothesis, think about it. First, why do you think you burn the paper? What does fire have to do with oxygen, and how much oxygen do you think there is in the bottle? and blah blah, you make the questions. And what force is it that makes the egg go down that bottle neck?

Remember a hypothesis is just what it is. Just write down what you think will happen. Hypothesis are not meant to be perfect. Dont be afraid to be wrong. Have fun :)

You could try all sorts of variables, you can even do it by standing the bottle in boiling water and then in cold. The one problem with different variables is getting the egg back out again :-)
