What's in our egg? Day 1 (March 7th)

When I came back from Australia, I brought the Moreporks an egg from Australia Zoo.
The way we were to hatch the egg was to place it in a bowl of water and after 24-48 hrs it will hatch but what will hatch?
Oisin and Elizabeth were very interested in the egg. They were very good at following instructions and watching to see what would happen to the egg once it was in the water.



We watched it float for a few minutes then it sink to the bottom of the bowl.
Throughout the day we checked on it to see if anything was happening. It was very exciting!





This type of activity is fantastic for children to learn about creatures in our environment and how to care for them. It also introduces the children to different properties such as water and how it can have different affects on different substances.
