Class Experience

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. We will be joined by one of my pet chickens and slides will be shown to look at both, embryo development and the parts of an egg. Students will partake 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: 
.One chicken egg, free of any cracks.
.One toilet paper roll. (just the cardboard roll)

.Towel for cleanup if needed.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

We will be looking at chicken eggs as sex cells and the development of a chicken embryo. Scientific terminology will be used to discuss this process throughout the class.
