ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel SmarterEveryDay I Looked Inside A Live Egg …. Smarter Every Day 254
Hey there! Let me tell you about something really cool I saw at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. It’s an exhibit that shows how a chicken grows inside an egg, and it’s super fascinating! Imagine an egg without its shell, and you can see everything happening inside. Let’s take a look at what happens each day as the chicken develops.
On the first day, the egg is just laid. It looks like a regular egg, and you might think there’s nothing special about it. But inside, there’s a tiny embryo and a yolk, which is the start of something amazing.
By the second day, things start to get interesting. The brain and heart begin to form. If you look closely, you can see how everything is starting to organize itself. It’s like watching a tiny miracle unfold!
As we move to days three and four, you can actually see the heart starting to pump. It’s a little red dot that beats, and it’s incredible to watch. This is when you can really see life beginning to take shape.
Now, for the most exciting part! By days five to seven, you can see the outline of a tiny chicken. There’s a backbone, a heart, and even a waste sac, which is something that helps the chicken get rid of waste. If you look closely, you can see the heart’s chambers, the eye, and the brain forming. It’s like a tiny world inside the egg!
This exhibit is one of my favorites because it shows how amazing life is. You can see the tiny blood vessels and how everything is connected. It’s a reminder of how incredible nature can be.
I hope you enjoyed learning about this as much as I did. It’s thanks to people who support educational projects that we can explore and share these wonders. Have a great day!
Draw a timeline of the chicken’s development inside the egg. Use different colors to represent each stage from Day 1 to Day 7. Label the key developments like the formation of the heart, brain, and backbone. This will help you visualize the growth process.
With the help of an adult, carefully crack open an egg and observe the yolk and the egg white. Discuss what you see and imagine how the embryo would develop inside. This hands-on activity will give you a better understanding of the egg’s structure.
Using a small balloon and a straw, create a simple model to demonstrate how a heart pumps. Inflate the balloon slightly and use the straw to mimic the heartbeat. This activity will help you understand how the heart functions inside the egg.
Imagine you are the chick growing inside the egg. Write a short diary entry for each day from Day 1 to Day 7. Describe what you see and feel as you develop. This creative writing exercise will help you empathize with the chick’s journey.
Create a colorful poster that explains the stages of a chick’s development inside an egg. Include drawings, labels, and fun facts. Display your poster in the classroom to educate your classmates about this fascinating process.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Okay. I’m at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and this is one of the most amazing exhibits I’ve ever seen. It’s very simple, but it’s mind-blowing. These are live chicken embryos laid out here. It’s basically an egg without the shell. I want you to look at this.
**Day 1:** This is when the egg is laid. It’s just a simple egg, nothing really special going on here. But things start to develop. That’s the embryo and the yolk.
**Day 2:** We see more development with the brain and the heart. If we look closely, we can see that things start to organize.
**Day 3 to 4:** We start to see actual development, and we get a heart that pumps. Look at this. You can’t really see it at first, but I’m going to zoom in. Look at that little red dot. Can you see it? That is a heart pumping. Isn’t that fascinating?
Now for the grand finale. **Days 5 to 7:** We start to have an actual chicken. You can see the backbone, the heart, and the waste sac, which is interesting. Let’s zoom in here. Look at that. It’s moving.
This is one of my favorite exhibits of all time. The Exploratorium is an amazing museum. You can see the chambers of the heart, the eye, and the brain up top. The waste sac is something I didn’t really understand before. Is this not incredible? You can even see the backbone. If you look closely, you can see the vasculature on the inside. This is really special.
Life is amazing. I am grateful to everyone who supports me on Patreon. You allow me to make videos about topics like this, and I’m super thankful. Have a good one!

Egg – A round or oval object laid by female animals, often containing a developing embryo. – The bird’s egg was carefully placed in the nest, waiting for the embryo inside to grow.
Embryo – An early stage of development for a living organism, especially before it is born or hatched. – The embryo of the frog was visible inside the transparent egg.
Yolk – The yellow part of an egg that provides food for the developing embryo. – The yolk in the egg provides essential nutrients for the growing chick.
Heart – An organ that pumps blood throughout the body of an animal. – The heart of the mammal beats continuously to circulate blood and oxygen.
Brain – The organ in an animal’s body that controls thoughts, memory, and movement. – The brain of the dolphin is highly developed, allowing it to solve complex problems.
Chicken – A domesticated bird often raised for its eggs and meat. – The farmer raised chickens, which laid eggs every morning.
Development – The process of growth and change that an organism undergoes during its life. – The development of the butterfly from a caterpillar is a fascinating transformation.
Life – The condition that distinguishes living things from non-living things, characterized by growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. – Life in the rainforest is diverse, with many different species of plants and animals.
Nature – The natural world, including plants, animals, and landscapes, not made by humans. – Nature provides many habitats for animals, such as forests, oceans, and deserts.
Vessels – Tubes in the body through which blood flows, such as arteries and veins. – Blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body.
