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.
This is an immersive educational unit designed to introduce students to the fascinating world of chicken agriculture. Through a blend of hands-on activities, reading assignments, and interactive learning experiences, students will delve into the intricate aspects of chicken life cycles, agricultural practices, and the importance of poultry farming in food production.
Objectives:
To familiarize students with the life cycle of chickens, from egg to adult bird.
To introduce students to the fundamentals of chicken agriculture, including breeds, housing, feeding, and health care.
To engage students in reading and researching about chickens to deepen their understanding of poultry farming.
To cultivate an appreciation for the role of chickens in sustainable agriculture and food security.
Key Activities:
Egg Incubation Experiment: Students will observe and document the process of egg incubation, from setting up an incubator to monitoring temperature and humidity levels. They will witness firsthand the stages of embryonic development and hatchling emergence.
Chicken Life Cycle Chart: Students will create a visual representation of the chicken life cycle, detailing each stage from egg to chick to mature bird. They will annotate the chart with key facts and observations.
Reading Assignments: Students will read a selection of articles, books, or online resources about chickens and poultry farming. They will compile information on topics such as breeds, behavior, nutrition, and life cycle.
