Chick It Out!

Help me give my students a brooder and egg incubator for the experience of both incubating and hatching eggs in the classroom as one of the most amazing experiences I can provide my students.

My Project

I'm thrilled to propose integrating chick incubators into our classroom. With these incubators and essential supplies, I aim to provide a hands-on learning experience that ignites curiosity and deepens understanding. Through this project, my goal is to empower students with the skills and knowledge needed for success in a dynamic world.

In our classroom, I envision a transformative learning experience centered around chick incubators.

By actively engaging in the incubation and care of chicks, students will explore the wonders of life science firsthand. This project promises to go beyond textbooks, fostering a profound connection to the natural world.

With funding secured, I'll acquire a chick incubator and brooder. Then, I'll seamlessly integrate the project into our curriculum. From monitoring conditions to caring for chicks, students will actively participate in every step.
