In Japan, researchers have created a super productive egg layer. The white leghorn hen has lost its instinct to parent due to selective breeding. They abandon the eggs that they lay so energy and time is not spent on caring for a chick. These hens are able to concentrate solely on laying eggs.
The egg is a miracle of technology, biology, and genealogy. It starts with a line of purebred chickens and goes through four generations of hens before the perfect egg is produced. This episode looks at the science behind egg production, analysis, and even preparation. Part of the "Science to Go With Dr. Joe Schwarcz" series.
There are around 10,800 different species of birds, all which lay eggs that vary in size, color, shape, and parental care required. Dr. John Bates pulled some to highlight from the Field Museum's egg collection. He shares these fragile and historically important specimens. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
The story of the egg spans millions of years from the first vertebrates that dared to venture onto land to today’s mammals. This episode takes an in-depth look at the biology and history of oviparous and viviparous animals. Part of the "Eons" series.
Chickens hatch from eggs. But what about other animals? Explore the narrator’s book to learn about a variety of animals from spiders to platypuses. Part of the "Everyday Science for Preschoolers" series.
Paleontologists found a small theropod dinosaur skull right on top of a nest of eggs that were believed to belong to a plant-eating dinosaur. Instead of being the nest robbers that they were originally thought to be, raptors like this one would reveal themselves to actually be caring parents. Part of the "Eons" series.
What is ”egg-shaped"? Host Joe Hanson discusses the shapes of eggs from many different bird species. Part of the "It's Okay to Be Smart" series.
Explains the development of the water snail from egg to adult, hard-shelled mollusk. One of nine segments in a series, with all nine available on a DVD.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on metamorphosis and the stages of development for insects and frogs. Some terms discussed include: egg, pupa, larva, nymph, and chrysalis. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. When the principal, Mr. Ruhle, has to go away for a few days, he leaves his beloved chicken, Giblets, in Dorothy Ann's (DA) care. Unfortunately, the minute Mr. Ruhle is out the door, Giblets flies away, and DA sets out to find a replacement for Giblets. The next thing DA knows, Ms. Frizzle and the class are on a field trip to see how eggs are made — from the inside out.
One of the fifteen parts of the "Farm to Market" series. Follows the process of how eggs go through the rigorous cleaning and inspection from the henhouse, and how the eggs finally arrive in supermarkets. Visits several different poultry farms, including a turkey farm and ostrich farm to see how birds are raised.
Many animals look like tiny versions of their parents when they are born, but not frogs. Follow the narrator and her grandpa as they observe the events leading up to their amphibian friend becoming a frog. Part of the "Everyday Science for Preschoolers" series.
A team conducts different experiments with food substances to show the chemical reactions that take place when exposed to air, heat, or extreme cold. They provide a close up on cooking technology and food chemistry from the kitchen of a restaurant. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. Ms. Frizzle decides to finish a field trip by taking the kids 67 million years back in time. She wants them to see dinosaurs up close. Things go array, when Arnold loses a fossilized egg to a living and breathing T-Rex. How will the class get the egg back from this vicious dinosaur?
Cars use airbags. Packages use airbags. Why shouldn't eggs use airbags too? Students model NASA's airbag landing system in this activity from "Design Squad Nation." They design and build protective covers made of balloons to protect an egg dropped from a height of three feet. Their systems model the airbag landing systems used by three NASA Mars missions. The students use the engineering design process, apply a variety of science concepts, and learn about NASA's exploration of the solar system. Part of the "Design Squad Nation" series.
Part of the "The Biology Classics" series. Daphnia are small, planktonic crustaceans. Provides a classic study in arthropod behavior and anatomy. Examines the eye, brain, jaws, intestine, legs (with gills), and heart. Identifies two kinds of eggs: those that hatch directly into female daphnia and resistant eggs that carry the species through periods of freezing and drying.
With help from the National Science Foundation, Cornell University’s Ornithology Lab is tracking bird breeding biology and the impact of climate change on bird populations. Some of the best information they are getting is from dedicated “citizen scientists” who provide critical data on what kinds of birds are nesting where, the number of eggs laid, and the number of chicks hatched.
In each episode, viewers are given clues about a hidden animal inside a magic box. Can viewers use all the clues to correctly guess the name of this semiaquatic egg-laying mammal? Part of the "Zoobabu" series.
