  2. What is inside an egg? • There is the yolk. The yolk is the yellow part of the egg. It is the food for the growing embryo (the chick). • There is the white of the egg. The while is the clear part inside the egg. It is water like. This protects the embryo. • At each end of the egg there is an air pocket. This pocket is there for the chick to take its first breath.

The embryo has eyes but they are not opened yet. It looks like a fish. • There are blood vessels that carry blood and food from the yolk.
