2. During a science project where the class was incubating chicken eggs, a teacher assisted
her pupils in understanding all facets of a moral dilemma. The task was to crack open an
egg every week to observe the chicken's development at various stages. Later that day,
one of her pupils confided in her that he believed it was terrible to crack open an egg and
kill the chick inside. She listened without responding and made the decision to have a
class meeting to discuss the matter. The class addressed a wide range of issues related to
the task. After discussing all the aspects, students were encouraged to vote as to how to
continue with the assignment as a group.
