Coloring Eggs
Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 4:30 PM
Today we colored our Easter eggs. I had some boys interested in the eggs and their yolk. We discussed how an egg has an egg white and a yolk and when it is not cooked it is runny. We learned that when you boil eggs for 20 minutes that they turn hard and that the insides turned into a semi-solid. The boys were also interested in whether our egg would have turned into a chicken or not so we looked up the stages of development for a fertilized egg. If you are interested in sharing the development with your kids the website is http://www.photosfan.com/chicken/ . It was pretty interesting and we learned that it takes 21 days for a little chickie to hatch. We also learned the temperature at which the chickies need to incubate at.
