Candling Our Eggs

Today was the first day that our first graders got to see a couple of eggs candled. We took them into the computer lab and got it as dark as possible. The students buzzed with excitement as we discussed what we would be looking for in the eggs. I had actually candled the two eggs prior to them coming in and saw that once was not viable and one had the embryo.

We used a flashlight and was able to see the embryo at the top of the egg.

Here is the one without an embryo. It was cracked.
