Today we continued our focus on eggs. Your children took another look at the book An Egg is Quiet, but today we focused on the anatomy of the egg. We identified parts of the egg: the yolk, albumen, shell, airsack, and protein cord. Your children identified the shapes they saw within eggs: ovals, circles, squiggles and crescents. They were able to create beautiful egg anatomy collages using these shapes and contrasting colors. If you get a chance you can show your children what happens when we boil eggs to different temperatures. Here is a link to an interesting website on chemistry and cooking-http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/eggs/eggcomposition.html
