After tracking our package of eggs for the past few days, we were treated to a pleasent surprise today when Mrs. Peppiatt brought in a small package with a big label on the side the said, "PERISHABLE - OPEN IMMEDIATELY". Well as you can imagine, we were very excited. We all knew what was in that box, our silkworm eggs! After removing them from the box carefully we noticed along with the eggs, there was a package of Silkworm chow and inst
ructions on how to raise the worms. After crowding around Mr. Boyer's desk, we all had to take a look at how small those eggs actually were. The book described them as little periods, that couldn't be a more accurate description of them. They were tiny.
The instructions told us that it may take up to two weeks for the eggs to hatch. We were instructed to leave them in the petri dish that they came in and placed in a spot that would be warm enough for them to hatch. Since our room is close to freezing at times, we figured the warmest place would be next to the printer and Safari system, since it seems that they are always being used. Mr. Boyer then placed the
eggs under the flex cam which we have hooked up to our TV. We placed a damp cotton ball in the dish to help create some humidity. Our goal is to try and take several pictures of the them throughout the day so that we can see if there are any changes happening.
