To culminate my Life Science unit, I want to make the learning come to life. During this hands-on science unit, students will have the opportunity to build their real world experiences while learning. Students learn the care that goes into incubating eggs as they daily attend to the incubator to insure successful hatching. Students make constant observations, form hypothesis and write about what they are learning. Once the chicks hatch students care for the chicks within our classroom for a short time learning responsibility, gentleness and the needs of a baby animal as they grow. This project is extremely valuable to our students. No amount of read aloud books or videos can give them the same experience they receive when they raise chicks themselves and watch their development day by day. Funding this project would benefit each 4th grade class, as the materials will be shared. It would mean the world to our students to be able to hatch eggs again this year! Once we have incubators we will be able to use them every year and never worry about not being able to complete this project again. Next year I am exploring the option of hatching and releasing quails. Quails feed on ticks and would help combat Long Island's rising tick population.
