There is no way you could divert the attention of the students from their cell phones long enough to explain the procedures of the experiment to them.
Then, no one would be listening, so you'd have to repeat yourself. Then, as the late arrivals to class dribble in one by one throughout the period, you'd have to re-explain what to do. Of course, the real latecomers would not be able to complete the experiment, but they'd blame you for that and complain that you didn't want to explain stuff to them.
You'd have to toss out a few eggs that some students played around with and contaminated or destroyed.
You'd have to check all student work because they have a problem following directions. You'd have to check all the eggs because some students might well have put some sort of toy or bit of trash they found in with the egg.
And, you'd have to lock the incubator lest some eggs be stolen or someone decided to peek at their egg and forgot to close the door to the incubator, ruining their egg and all those of others.
It’s finally settled... The chicken came first.
Breaking: NYC high schoolers can put on rubbers faster than anyone.
That’s pretty amazing - I can’t even manage to make a half-decent breakfast from an egg without the shell.
Sure, but we have illegal aliens who will take care of us in our old age and pay for our retirement.
If they can hatch an oyster on a half shell, they might have something.
This is from an evening TV show , and there are many just like it that feature these kibds of stories . Japanese TV has its share of inane programs , but they also have many from which one can learn a lot .
I find it hard to believe this is the first time that’s ever been done. Simple process. Just reading the headline, I knew how they could have done it and that’s exactly what they did do. The shell is only there to protect it from drying out. Plastic wrap did the same thing. The shell is porous so a tiny hole is needed for oxygen. Farmers have used incubators or lamps for decades.
As someone down thread said, it would go a long way in stopping abortions.
Things I hate:
Japanese reaction frames in their damned news stories. I’m so sick of the exaggerated looks on these people’s faces when they are shown something simple and non-plus.
Things I love:
Japanese students have their own soldering irons with their names written on them. I had that in HS. I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt today’s students have their own soldering iron that they keep in their cabinet in the classroom.
