Knowing that other parts of chickens develop after the presence of blood near the germinal disc, we began wondering if other parts of chickens (or even other living things that develop similarly to chickens) are made of cells, too.
We looked at chicken skin, mammal heart, human blood, human skin, and human cheeks.
The underlying pattern: all these things are made of cells.
While the cells may differ in shape or connectedness, we recognize that they all contain similar structures like nuclei (with the exception of human blood), cytoplasm and cell membranes, and are all smaller than one millimeter.

We're starting to think that cells are playing an important role in how the chick (or other living things develop) since we see cells early on and later in their development inside the egg.
We're also wondering if all living things (plants included) contain cells, and if non-living things do, too. How will we figure this out?!?!
