All three Grade One classes have chicken eggs in our incubators. We are hoping they will hatch on April 30th-May 2nd. We have been learning about the incubator, the egg turner, different types of chickens, and parts of a chicken. Every few days we candle a few eggs with the ovascope which shows the children how the embryo is growing inside the egg. Yesterday, we saw blood vessels. We also learned about natural selection as one of the eggs had no blood vessels, meaning it was no longer viable. It had to be removed from the incubator. Today we will learn about other animals who lay eggs. It is an EGGS-ITING time in Grade 1!!
