Incubating and hatching chicken eggs in the classroom is a hands-on learning experience in which we want to explore complex concepts such as: developmental biology, evolution, nutrition and the circulatory system, data measurement, collection, and analysis. Projects like this help students learn biological concepts and develop a deeper understanding of the life sciences. Examining embryos at different stages of growth, observing a beating heart, watching them hatch and grow help students learn about the life cycle and lead to deep conversations on the miraculous nature of life. Being in an urban district, students will have limited experiences with live animals. For others, it connects them back to their home-countries, where they raised chickens of their own. Hatching chicks also provides an opportunity to learn what it means to be a responsible pet owner. Students may not have had to be responsible for another living being, and this will give them the opportunity to care for the animals after they hatch. (A host family has already been identified as a permanent home for the chicks once they are too big to be in the classroom.)
