I'm calling today "History Friday". Why? I thought I'd take a look at the very first science misconception post on this blog back on May 30, 2012. The honor of being the first science misconception post goes to the Balancing an Egg on the Equinox Myth.
If you haven't, I encourage you to go back to this post and read it. Too often schools teach kids that eggs can balance on their end, but only on the first day of spring or the first day of fall (the two equinoxes). The truth? You can balance an egg on its end on any day of the year as long as you have a little bit of patience. In fact, on any day you can balance an egg on the small/skinny end if you have even more patience. Don't believe me? Try it yourself!
