CBeebies - Penelope K, by the way, Egg

Penelope K finds conflicting information about eggs when she investigates their strength.

Penelope K answers children's questions at the Information Station. Penelope K investigates how strong eggs are.

Penelope K runs the Information Station, a place which contains all the answers to any question a child might have. To help her find the answers, Penelope is joined by her sock puppet, Squirm; Hank and Frank, two wise cracking fish; Trewey, the shadow rabbit, and music is provided by the Rubber Band.

Penelope K receives some confusingly conflicting information about eggs when she investigates how strong they are. The Know Dome tells her they are strong like bridges, but when she drops one it breaks very easily. Birds sit on eggs to keep them warm, which means they would have to be strong after all. 

But it's an experiment that Hank and Frank undertake that amazes Penelope K the most... they place a huge pile of furniture on top of one egg before it cracks. Egg straordinary! Eggs are strong if you put weight on them but weak if you drop them.
