My Project
Since going to the March training for our April Embryology Project, I was advised of additional supplies needed to be purchased by the teacher. So I am requesting help with the last few items needed to ensure a greater hatch rate with our baby chicks. The heat lamp, candling light, digital and humidity thermometers, will increase the chances that more of our eggs will hatch into healthy baby chicks. Likewise, this ability to monitor the chicks as they grow will also allow the teacher to recognize and discuss with students the possibility of any of the chicks not developing appropriately to prepare students for the unknown. Below is a summary of our project.
What is more fascinating than seeing a fully developed baby chick emerge from an egg?
Just three weeks of incubation transforms a seemingly lifeless chicken egg into an active, living being.
This hands-on project is designed to give my students the opportunity to hatch chicks in our own classroom.
During the 21 day incubation period, students learn to prepare eggs, set up an incubator, record progress, turn eggs, and test eggs for fertility. This project aligns with Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core Standards.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
