2. An EGGS-PLORATION that will ignite a passion for learning in your classroom…. Is it math? Is it science? Is it art? Is it literacy….. Learning that takes kids to infinity and beyond… Open your eyes, open your mind…. Find the joy that has been missing!!
It's actually called EGG TEMPURA, the original paint.

3. Develop the attributes of a Design Thinker: Tinkering

4. Diagramming is a key skill that impacts your ability to learn and to remember and apply what you learn... Encourage and expect students to diagram, label and organize their diagrams, improve their diagrams.

5. Describe an Egg: OBSERVATIONS ONLY !!!!
We must spend time on describing... Stop labelling and classifying for students. Teach them instead to develop descriptive vocabulary, then sort the vocabulary and use it to name classifications. What is it that makes something an EGG? Do all eggs have shells?

6. What can you measure about your egg?
List measurement words and tools.
Are there special tools that have been developed for measuring eggs? Why?

7. Crack your egg and gently drop into a plate or cup.
Observe, diagram, label.

8. I want to develop vocabulary
I want to develop vocabulary. I do not plan to test students on the vocabulary. We do not all need to label the same diagram. Interested students can come up and get the words they need.

9. Gently slide the egg back into the shell.
Separate the yolk.

10. Crush some shell. Make 2 small piles.
What do you think will happen if you drop water on one?
Vinegar on the other?
Watch and listen carefully and quietly...

11. Set up a scientific comparison....
What is vinegar doing to the shell? How can we figure out its long term effect?

12. Predict:
What will happen if you drop several drops of food colour onto the egg yolk.

13. Predict:
Compare your prediction to the reality.
Mix
Dissolve
Stir
Thick, thin

14. Have you heard of Tempura Paint?

15. Egg tempera was a favourite paint of Early artists. It was made by crushing up to powder things like stones, sticks, bone, dirt, leaves and mixing them with water and egg. The egg holds everything together as the “paint” dries. So the paint is tempered with egg.
We do not use eggs anymore but we do still call some paint tempera.
What do you think might be problems with this kind of paint? .

16. Back to Eggs:
Do all animals begin life as eggs?
What really is an egg?
Do all eggs contain a yolk?
Where is the actual bird or animal that is going to grow?
The yolk is its food.
Do all eggs have a shell?

17. Oology (or oölogy) is a branch of ornithology studying bird eggs, nests and breeding behaviour.

18. Egg books

20. Most sharks and skates lay strangely shaped eggs sometimes called a ‘mermaid’s purse.’ These consist of an egg case in a thin capsule made of collagen. They often are square or rectangular with stringy or pointy corner horns, but can come in a variety of odd shapes. Shark eggs and egg covers wash up on beaches and many are as long as your hand.
