3rd Grade Embryology Project Lee County

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

4-H Embryology School Enrichment is a program offered through Lee County 4-H and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension. The mission of 4-H Embryology School Enrichment program is to provide high quality experiential learning opportunities. The 4-H Embryology School Enrichment Program addresses many of the Public Schools 3rd grade science and math competency-based curriculum objectives.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

  • Increase student knowledge through hands on learning opportunities in areas of science and math
  • Provide experiential learning in the incubation, hatching and brooding of chicks
  • Students will demonstrate skills and knowledge mastered from this experience

METHODOLOGY AND EVALUATION

Trained teachers will facilitate the 4-H Embryology Program in third-grade classrooms. Instructions will be given on pre-hatch, incubation and post-hatch procedures during the scheduled training session on April 19, 2022 @ 4:00 p.m. Third-grade students will study the formation, early growth, and development of chicken in their eggs. If your classroom intends to do live hatching, you will receive chicken eggs, an incubator, a teacher’s curriculum, and a thermometer. Within 48 hours after hatching, the birds will be collected. An evaluation will also be given to help determine the benefits of the program.

EMBRYOLOGY TRAINING and EGG PICK-UP DATE:

The Embryology Training will be held on April 19, 2022 @ 4:00 p.m. via Zoom. The training is free of charge, and each educator will receive all of the necessary information and supplies to complete the program successfully. Supplies pick-up will occur at N.C. Cooperative Extension, Lee County Center @ 4:30. Please call 775-5624 to register for the project or use the online form. We look forward to working with everyone in 2021 and hope to see you at the training!
