Today we candled our eggs to see if we could tell which might be developing into chicks and which might not.  We consulted our chart, which said we should see some red veins through the egg around Day 9.  In some eggs, we saw a smaller oval shape inside the egg that was all dark.  In others, we saw a couple dark spots, perhaps the eye and the heart, and they were moving about inside the albumen.  It was really exciting!!  In the end, we think we have 6 eggs with good potential to develop into chicks and 6 that maybe won't....

The class had a mysterious piece of equipment awaiting them in the classroom this morning!  We took some time to make some scientific guesses in our journals and then Mrs. Koehn revealed that we are going to be incubating chicken eggs!  We are so excited to learn about the life cycle of a chicken with this hands-on science experiment. None of us, as it turns out, has ever done this before (although Kara and Ana do have baby chicks...
