Oviparous!
4/19/2019
This week we learned a big word: oviparous - an animal that lays eggs. We also learned that animals who have live births are called mammals. We went on an egg hunt in our classroom and when we opened the eggs we had found there were different egg laying animals inside. We discovered that birds, insects, fish, turtles, frogs, reptiles, and snakes are all oviparous. We did more hands on learning with our egged animals by sorting them into groups based on where they lay their eggs, land or water, and then made a graph. Also, most exciting this week, we started incubating chicken eggs! We began egg journals and a countdown chart. We are all super excited to see and hold the baby chicks when they hatch. On Friday we attended PNA's Science Party. We got to meet biologists, chemists, and scientists. We studied fish and fish eggs, looked at bacteria under microscopes, mixed chemicals to create polymer reactions, made model telescopes, programed bee robots, and more. This event will be a wonderful transition into this next week when we will get to be scientists as we study what an egg is and do a few experiments.
