My Project

Our kindergarten science curriculum focuses on families and the growth of humans and animals of all sorts. We make comparisons as well. This incubator will give my students hands-on experience of understanding the process happening inside the eggs for the 21-day period, as well as watching the chicks hatch and grow within the classroom.

The incubator will provide all students with hands-on experience from beginning to end.

They will learn and understand how to take care of the chicks once they have hatched from the eggs and can leave the incubator.

This is a wonderful experience for all students to be able to experience.
