This was an exciting week in Linda’s class. From May 12th to May 13th, ten chicks hatched. At first we set the app iStopMotion to take a picture of the action every 99 seconds. Once the chicks started coming out of the eggs, we set iStopMotion to take a picture every 12 seconds. We also moved around the eggs so that they could be closer to the camera. We made one silly mistake, however. We forgot to tell the maintenance staff not to turn off the lights during the night, so we needed to edit out the frames when the lights were off.
