By hatching chicks in class, I will be able to cover science standards of life cycles. It will make learning interactive and fun, while seeing real life chicks evolve. Students need to experience real life learning in school, especially now that Covid has made field trips impossible. I have hatched chicks in the past and it is always the student's favorite time of the year but sadly my incubator is broken. This project will bring the chick activity back to my classroom and make learning come to life! Past students still stop by to discuss when we hatched chicks and I want my current students to have the same experience.
