Today we finished up our series on the life cycle of chickens. The students reviewed the life cycle by placing events in order along with a description of the event in their own words using laptops from the mobile lab. Then they got to take turns holding a baby chick. During this process they learned about fertilization of eggs, the growing chick, turning the egg, incubation, candeling, hatching, and care of baby chicks. They also learned about the egg tooth and the fact that not every egg hatches and not every chick survives, a touch realization for these young kids.
Note to self - Always keep a lot of hand sanitizer available.
