This The Egg Activity lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

Students comprehend the three basic steps of science: 1) Observation, 2) Statements of cause and effect (Hypotheses), and 3) Testing. By working with an egg, students are required to observe an object that is very common to them. This activity helps to show them that this object is far more complicated then they likely have recognized before.
