Hatching chicks provides our grade two students with a valuable and memorable, hands-on learning experience.  This is the Biology section of Grade 2 science, "Animal Growth and change."  

Our class will be provided with an incubator, 12-20 fertilized eggs and everything needed to hatch chicks. Our incubator will be just outside the classroom door. The process of going from egg to chick takes 21 days, and then the chicks will be collected a few days after hatching.

Through this project, students will have an opportunity to learn about the incubation process, embryonic development, practice animal care and handling, develop a greater appreciation and understanding of agriculture and specifically the poultry industry.
