In this lab experience, students will dissect an egg and remove the shell, shell membrane, observe the air cell/pocket, remove part of the chalazae, and separate the egg to analyze the albumen and yolk. This lab is economically efficient enough to be performed in groups as small as two. My students have always enjoyed this hands on experience. Though messy, it makes further egg labs eas
