The Incredible, Edible Egg

This engaging and educational resource, titled “The Incredible, Edible Egg: A Closer Crack!”, is perfect for introducing young students to the fascinating science, anatomy, and nutritional value of an egg.

What’s Included:

Egg Anatomy: Clear explanations of the main parts of an egg:

The Shell: Described as a “Super Suit of Armor” that keeps the egg safe. It has “teeny-tiny holes called PORES” that let air in for a baby chick to breathe.

The Albumen (Egg White): Called “The Watery Wonder,” it is made of protein and protects the yolk.

The Yolk: Nicknamed “The Sunny Food Bank,” it is full of vitamins and energy.

Science of Cooking: A visual panel demonstrating how heat changes an egg white : it is “clear and slimy when raw” but “turns white and bouncy” when cooked.

Nutrition: Highlights the yolk as a SUPERFOOD that is packed with good stuff, including benefits like making your “brain smart,” helping your “muscles grow strong,” and being “Good for your eyes to see!”.

Floating Experiment: Explains that a fresh egg sinks in fresh water, but older eggs or eggs in salty water can float.

Activity Page: Concludes with an activity where the child can draw their own yummy egg dish.

This visually appealing presentation helps students become an “Egg-Spert” while covering basic concepts in biology, chemistry (food science), and nutrition.
