Division 7 has been learning about oviparous animals.  Oviparous animals are hatched from eggs.  We have three eggs in an incubator in our classroom.  We made our first observation using a special scope.  The scope enables us to see inside the egg as it develops.  We saw an air pocket on one end of the egg.  We were also able to see a black dot which is the heart, and little red lines on the yolk.  These red lines carry food from the yolk to the developing chick.

Stay tuned for more discoveries!
