         Eggs Eggs Everywhere is more than just hunting for Easter Eggs and looking at chickens. It is about the wonder and excitement of what happens in an egg. Chickens Aren’t the Only Ones, by Ruth Heller introduces the many animals that lay eggs. This GEMS Guide introduces students in Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade, a very basic introduction to biology and life science. Students will look at water animals as well as land animals that lay eggs. The Guide explores many animals including: fish, turtles, birds and snakes. This guide goes deeper into the life of animals that lay eggs. This guide will help students understand egg-laying as well as hatching.  Students will get to observe a live box turtle and a fish. Math, literature and physical sciences are incorporated within the lessons. Students will get to sort, organize, act out, and even graph while exploring different shapes and movements. Plastic eggs and other objects will be used in experimentation on flat and inclined surfaces. They will also get to learn more about the animals that lay eggs and their role in the life cycle.
