A Look Into the Life Cycle - in Real Life!

Help me give my students the real world experience of the life cycle. I want to incubate chicken eggs so we can see the life cycle process in real life rather than through worksheets and pictures.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jordan's classroom raised $359

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My class is large - 735 students to be exact. I am the STEM Coordinator for my campus and I have the privilege of working with all the students on campus. I love how my job allows me to affect more students than within the four walls of the classroom.

My job is to bring the love of STEM to students beginning at an early age.

I want to expose students to the joy of learning through hands on experiences, and help build the foundation of all things science, technology, engineering, and math.

My Project

Pictures do not do justice in showing the beauty of learning about the life cycle.

What better way to learn about the life cycle than through the actual process from egg to chick!

I want to bring this learning to life by being able to incubate chicken eggs, giving this experience to not only a classroom full of students to witness, but the entire school. These eggs will be in our science lab so all classrooms have the opportunity to learn and observe the journey of egg to chick.

The process of incubating eggs will give the students 21 days of data tracking, real life writing scenarios, and most importantly - a school experience they will never forget and can take home share with their loved ones.
