In Mrs. Shelby Summer’s classroom at #EastSideElementarySchool, #students are eagerly watching the incredible journey of life as eggs 🥚 incubate and develop. Recent candling shows the air pocket at the bottom of the eggs, while most of the egg appears dark—an exciting sign that the chicks 🐥 are growing bigger and preparing to hatch!
At this stage:
The chick is almost fully formed and takes up most of the space inside the egg 🥚.
The air pocket provides oxygen 🌿as the chick gets ready to breathe on its own.
Hatching usually happens around day 21 ⏳, and the chicks will start breaking through the shell soon!
Students are getting a front-row seat to science in action 🔬, learning firsthand how life develops inside an egg 🐣.
