You may wonder how I can breathe inside this egg... but if we zoom in the egg shell under the microscope you will find an interesting surprise...Loading...
Breathing Loading...
Pores on the egg’s shell!Loading...

Pores on the surface of the egg shell not only allow for gas exchange but also for the exchange of water between the embryo and the environment.Loading...
So now you know how i get my nutrients and the oxygen i need to grow...another very important variable is the temperature. I need to be kept warm in order to survive... I can’t control my body temperature when I’m inside here so i need to be incubated.Loading...

Did you know?When a material can’t isolate the heat,
We call it a heat conductor?
Loading...
How can we tell if a material is a good insulator?Loading...
Thermal insulators are bad at transferring heat. Materials can transfer heat when molecules that had absorbed heat(energy) bump into colder molecules.Loading...
Loading...
There’s a property of the material that tells us how good the material can transfer/conduct heat. It’s called the thermal conductivity.Loading...
Big thermal conductivity Loading...
Material is good thermal conductorLoading...
Small thermal conductivity Loading...
Material is good thermal insulator
