Egg in a bottle science experiment

What you need

 1 x hard boiled egg
 1 x glass bottle with a wide neck (just wide enough to sit the egg in)
 Boiled water from the kettle
 Pour boiling water into the bottle to about a third of the way up.
 Place the hard boiled egg so that it sits in the neck of the bottle.

 Watch and wait. You will notice the egg gets shifted by the hot air in the bottle, this is
when the hot air expands and escapes a bit.
 The egg will eventually get sucked into the bottle.

 Why is it so?
 The hot air from the hot water expands and forces its way out of the bottle, making the
egg shift around.
 As the air cools inside the bottle the air contracts and takes up less room. This creates
lower pressure inside the bottle than outside. The greater pressure outside the bottle
forces the egg into the bottle.
