We have three eggs in our classroom.  The eggs are in an incubator in our classroom.  The incubator keeps the eggs warm and turns the eggs so that the insides don’t stick to the shell.  The eggs are teaching us about oviparous animals.  Oviparous animals are animals hatched from eggs.  We know that many animals hatch from eggs, such as birds and reptiles. 

We noticed that the eggs have different colored shells, dark brown, pale green and light brown.  We can also see inside the egg with a special scope.  The scope enables us to see what is happening as the animal develops.  In our first observation, we saw an air pocket at 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 animal.

We wonder what kind of animals will hatch from the eggs?  Snake?  Turtle?  Chicken?  Dinosaur?
