Which came first... the chicken or the egg?
Beginning Thursday, April 4, kids in Grades 3-5 get to embark on this exciting 5-week learning adventure that teaches youth about the life cycle of a chicken by preparing an incubator habitat for chick eggs. As they observe the 21-day life cycle and prepare for hatching, participants will work as real-world scientists by observing, recording, analyzing, experimenting, problem solving and more!
They will also learn about Wisconsin agriculture and food sources and how food does not start from a box or a bag.
Tree T-shirt for registered youth. Youth are encouraged to attend all 5 sessions for full experience.
Session 1: Preparing the Environment: Incubators and setting the eggs
Session 2: Watch them develop! Egg condling at 8 days + Egg Anatomy
Session 3: Scientists Make Predictions! Egg weights and measures = Egg Candling at Day 15
Session 4: Chicks Begin to Hatch! Brooder Box Set-Up
Session 5: Observing Baby Chicks and Learning About Wisconsing Agriculture & Food Sources
This class will be repeated this coming summer for youth in grades 3-5 on Wednesdays from 9:00 - 10:00 AM at the same location! Online registration for the summer class begins on Monday, April 29!
