My Project

Every year we use our classroom incubator to hatch baby chicks in the classroom. We watch daily as to what is happening inside the eggs and are excited to see the daily changes. We wait patiently for the 21 day cycle to take place.

My students are so excited to have a brooding house where they are able to watch the chicks we hatch in our classroom grow and change!

They love the experience of hatching chicks yearly. The brooding box will allow them to watch the new chicks easily throughout the day.
