The chicks have hatched. They are in the brooder keeping warm. when they were in the incubator the humidity was 40  % at the end it was 70% so it is moisture so the chick wouldn’t dry up and so they could break through the shell. I have learned how to feed the chicks and also how to take care of them all. We give them water every day and food. There are 4 white and 10 black chicks number 4 and number 17 hatched first. In  the brooder there is a drinking station and there is a feeding station.  I have enjoyed looking after our chicks.  I am hoping to take some home.

The  chicks needs air,  a place  to  live , water , humidity   warmth ,  a brooder, food, water, incubator, yolk and a shell.  The yolk turns into the chick.  The  chicks hatched on Wednesday.  The egg  needs to  be soft   so the chick can get out of the  egg otherwise it will die.  We’ve got 14 chicks.  We have enjoyed watching them hatch.

vP5,6 and p7 did an experiment to find out more about the lungs and how they work. The big pink balloon at the bottom represents the diaphram, the bottle is the ribcage which protects the lungs, the smaller balloon is the lung which inflates and deflates when your pull the diaphram, and the straw represents the trachea which lets your air travel safely from your mouth and nose to your lungs. When your blood absorbs oxygen, little sacs called alveoli take it to your bloodstream. Carbon dioxide is flushed out of our bodies when we breathe out. Our next steps are to learn about the veins, bronchioles, main bronchus, the alveoli and how they work and where carbon dioxide comes from.
