This could get messy! Using a pie plate, a toilet paper roll, and a raw egg, Spangler aptly demonstrates one of Newton's classic laws: an object at rest will stay at rest until some force acts upon it. Sure enough, the demonstration works magnificently! Not a lot of science is passed on here, but learners will love trying this at home, until some eggs break!
