What's Inside the Egg?

Second graders use fun plastic eggs to investigate mammals and non egg-laying animals. After discussion in the class they open plastic eggs with animal pictures inside and decide if the animal lays eggs. They observe the inside and...

Learners explore how an egg becomes fertilized. In this biology lesson, students "candle" a variety of eggs in order to determine which ones have been fertilized and which ones haven't. Student use paper plates to create a graphic on the...

Students are introduced to a basic characteristic and need of living things-the ability and need to reproduce. They investigate how birds (and people) attract mates. Students discover how to build a nest. They discuss the needs and...

Students conduct research about animals that lay eggs such as reptiles and birds. After identifying characteristics of reptiles and discussing the connection to dinosaurs, they create a three-dimensional paper mache dinosaur egg with a...

Students explore the physical properties of eggs. In this scientific observation instructional activity, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple...

Young scholars investigate the characteristics of eggs by playing and experimenting with them.

Students collect as much information as possible about their egg and record the information in a systematic way. They prepare a description of the egg your team was given that enable you to distinguish your egg from everyone else's egg.

Students use their observation, prediction, problem-solving, and language skills as they experiment with different ways to mix eggs. In this problem solving lesson, students use simple tools in order to cook up scrambled eggs.

Students research all about the process of egg development and hatching. They access about temperature, recording data, and charting. In addition to the outcomes for science mastery, students gain experience in cooperative group work,...

Students identify oviparous animals. They brainstorm a list of animals that lay eggs, read "Chickens Aren't The Only Ones" by Ruth Heller and then add to the list. Students complete a booklet that shows an egg and an oviparous animal.
