We recognized that we agreed on the following:
1. That the yolk is a food source for the growing chick.
2. And so is the white! (We looked at nutrition labels for each to provide us with evidence that these parts contain food molecules).
But we don't really know WHAT is going on in order for a chick to develop with the yolk and the white. We began thinking that we should look closer at the germinal disc, where we think the chick develops from. Besides the germinal disc, we agreed to also look at the following parts thinking these investigations might help us in the following ways:
1. That the yolk is a food source for the growing chick.
2. And so is the white! (We looked at nutrition labels for each to provide us with evidence that these parts contain food molecules).

Because of these ideas, we figured we should know HOW to use a tool that could help us zoom in really closely--the microscope. So we spent the last few days really acclimating ourselves with:
1. The microscope's parts and their functions.
2. How to make a wet mount slide.
3. How to use mathematics (specifically scale) to know just how close we were zooming in and what this means in terms of measurement.
