Secondary School
Secondary schools are increasingly realising the benefits of the Living Eggs programme in Sciences.

They are used for various purposes including monitoring a living organism, plotting and charting growth, observing male/female characteristics and monitoring effects of light and sound.

'Candling' of eggs shows the embryo growth and a wall poster details embryo development over the 21 days.

Please see our Thematic Plans and fundraising ideas.
