Last Monday, Hannah (One of the Possum Room teachers) gave us a Ziploc bag full of what appeared to be dirty paper towels. upon closer examination, we could see that the paper towels were covered with tiny grey spots. "They're silkworm eggs!" Hannah told us. "Just cut out a piece of paper towel with a lot of little dots, stick them in a petri dish on top of a damp towel and cover them with an upside down bowl. They should hatch right around when you think they probably aren't going to hatch anymore!"
OK, Done!
They've been incubating since last Monday. The batch of eggs in the Possum Room started hatching this morning. We'll see if ours follow suit...
