My Project

This project will allow our students to experience the lifecycle of a chicken in real time.

Lifecycles are a big part of our science unit, so what better way to learn about lifecycles than hatching chickens!

Students will be able to complete a series of activities to help them learn about the stage the chicken is in at that given time. These incubators will allow students to better understand the development and lifecycle of chickens. At the end of our project, students will make a booklet of everything that they learned, complete with pictures of our chickens!
