Exploring the Egg

Today we explored unfertilized chicken eggs. These are the eggs that you buy at the grocery store and will never form a baby chick. We cracked the shell and explored all the parts of the egg. We also learned the terms yolk, albumen, and chalazae. For information about the parts of the egg and their function, check out this 4H embryology link: http://4hembryology.psu.edu/partsn.html
