One of the greatest miracles of nature is the rapid transformation of a seemingly lifeless egg into a new living organism. Egg hatching provides a rare opportunity to study the stages of embryonic growth during the 21 days of incubation, and gives students a chance to relate the stages of chick development to that of other embryos. We are requesting an incubator and egg turner to reach our gaol of successfully incubating avian embryos (growing inside fertile eggs) through the hatching process. These lessons will help guide students through the process of controlling several environmental variables during the incubation process as they watch the growth and development of chick embryos in the classroom. Although chick embryos start to develop as soon as they are formed in the hen’s body, many things can affect their speed of growth and their ability to form healthy chicks. Variations in temperature can have a large impact on the growing embryo. Growth will temporarily or permanently cease if the temperature drops below 96°F or above 103°F. Too much or too little humidity can result in weak embryos or a reduced number of chicks that are able to hatch.
