A chicken lays an egg. You feel sleepy. And a tree loses its leaves. All of these things, and many more, happen in a certain way, at a certain time each day or each year. They take place because of something called an internal clock. The word internal means “inside of”, and the internal clock is inside a certain part of every plant and animal. For example, there is an internal clock in the head of a chicken.
The internal clock receives a signal, a message, from the world around it. Some of these signals include light, heat, darkness and cold. When the internal clock gets the signal, the body of the plant or animal produces a chemical that causes the living things to do different actions. For example, daylight signals the chicken’s internal clock to make a chemical. Then this chemical causes the chicken to lay eggs.
