Students will learn to identify the parts of a chicken egg, the number of days it takes for an embryo to develop and hatch successfully into a chick, and how to candle an egg. Slides will be shown to look at both, embryo development and the parts of an egg. Students will participate in a group discussion and be hands on with an egg in front of them. We will practice candling and discuss how and why candling can be used in the real world. A list of required lab materials is posted in the supply list section below. Students are welcome to candle as many eggs as they’d like.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Scientific terminology will be used to discuss the parts of an egg and embryo development throughout the class.
Supply List
Students will need a chicken egg, free of any cracks, a toilet paper roll (just the cardboard roll), a flashlight, a bowl or small trash can to prevent mess should the egg break, and a towel for cleanup if needed. Students may enjoy taking the class on a device that allows them to "annotate" or draw on the screen through zoom.
