| Astrobiology and Life on Other Worlds |

The work this scientist does mostly focuses on microbiology, because there is a thought that if we are able to find life on other worlds, it is most likely to be something like the bacteria we have here on Earth. He tries to figure out how the microbes that live here on Earth change their environment in ways that might be detected from far away in space. That kind of information will eventually help us to collect data from other worlds and use it to say whether or not there is life on those worlds. Join him to learn more about his work.

This event is sponsored by Flour Bluff ISD, coordinated by the ESC2. This event will be limited to one participating site. So register quickly. Please see details in event link to make sure that you can commit to this project before registering. This event will consist of Eight sessions of 30-45 minutes each.
Two classrooms will be paired, and each class will observe and record the growth of chicken embryos in Mrs. Zamora’s class through the use of an incubator, microscope, and webcam. Both classes will keep a “Hatching Journal” to record visual observations of the growing embryo as well as information pertaining to the eggs (i.e. The Parts of An Egg, Uses for Eggs, Strength of an Egg, etc.). Twice each week the classes will hold discussions via video conference. This project will help the students understand the embryonic stages of development of a chicken, the parts and functions of the egg, the function and importance of the incubator, the difference between oviparous and viviparous animals, and the responsibility necessary for caring for a living thing.
