Today in science (Exploring Creation with Zoology 1: Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day), we studied the different parts of the egg. I carefully cracked the end and pulled off a section of the shell so we could look at the different parts. I carefully poured the albumen (the egg white) and the yolk plus we were able to see a little chalazae. After the egg was empty, I rinsed it out so that everyone could feel the air cell. Lastly, we pulled the shell membrane away from the shell. A very simple project but very interesting indeed.

Fun photos! :)
It is pretty cool, isn't it? We hatch chicks in the spring so we get to candle them too.
Neat.
Fun! Don't you just love that science curriculum?!?!?! I do!!
SO COOL!
What an interesting lesson for them - and you!
