This project investigates the contaminant materials that are present during eggs hatching using an incubator which can spoil the hatching of eggs. 16 numbers of eggs were used in the experiment and they were manually turned to ensure equal heat distribution. The temperature is maintained using a temperature controller. This study will focused on the monitoring on the physical changes of the water used by observing the condition of the water, collecting data on the temperature, relative humidity and also checked on the pH value of the water every day. Then when the contaminant is obviously appears, the sample will be taken for the lab testing under microscope to view the structure of the contaminated tiny crystal, testing using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to obtain the characteristics of the contaminants and test on the composition to figure out the contaminants material.
