How I Hatched a Chiken Egg in an Incubator Can you remember the last time you were passionate to learn something new? Neither can I. But we have all been passionate to learn at some point in our childhood. To kids the world seems like a magical place, full of mysteries waiting to be discovered. I’m sure all of us can recall some pleasant memories experiencing with science as a child. In this essay I’m going to talk to you about an experiment I did in my childhood with an incubator. It was a joyful experience for me. The first important thing I needed to do in order to hatch chicken eggs was to find an incubator. That was the easy part since I could borrow one from my school. It wasn’t actually an incubator. it was a device that students in 5th grade had to make, and it worked like an incubator with a few differences. The device could only be used to maintain the temperature needed for the experiment. The rest I had to do by hand. It was plugged into electricity 24 hours a day, and it had a lamp inside it to make the area warm and light. Finding the incubator was pretty easy. Using it was a little harder. I had to find the right eggs, if I wanted to hatch them and turn them into chickens eventually. First I had to make sure they weren’t stored for more than 7 days. Old eggs weren’t going to turn into chickens. And I also had to make sure that they were stored in a cool humid area, and were not damaged, and didn’t have any holes or cracks. Size of the eggs was important too. They had to be of a normal size; not so big or small. I had a pretty hard job making sure they had all these qualities. Finally I could find six eggs that had these qualities. Over all this part wasn’t easy or even fun for me. Now that I had all the things I needed, I had to start the process. I had to turn them 4 times a day for 18 days. The whole experiment took 29
