Candling the Eggs

Today was Day 3 of egg incubation in first grade! It was our first day "candling" the eggs, a process where we turn out the lights to darken the room, then shine a bright light through the eggs, one at a time, to see the developing embryo inside! We were able to see the air sac at the bottom of each egg, the albumen (or "egg white"), and the yolk with a very small embryo inside when we candled! We will candle our eggs a few more times before the hatch and each time hope to see our chicks getting bigger inside!
