Illustrating the Eggs

Each year, students at Northeast Elementary in Ithaca, NY  raise brook trout.  As will all our Brook Trout classes, they receive eggs in early November but have to wait a week or more for the eggs to hatch.  Here's a great activity to help the time pass.

Master Teacher Paula Kilts (who recently retired and we miss her already!) would introduce scientific illustration... carefully drawing what you see... as a way to begin important observations, and get the creative juices flowing, even before the eggs hatch.





The end result combines careful observation and illustration with a little poetry.  These works will be the first in a series of journaling activities as the trout develop and grow!
