Something had to be done. FAST!! Have you ever wondered how a chick is hatched ? Come with us as we help Farmer Biles hatch the eggs at Robinson Farm. MAMA HEN IS MISSING !

4. TASK PROCESS RESOURCES EVALUATION CONCLUSION TEACHER INTRO Introduction Embryology is the study of the development of an embryo. FROM CHICK TO EGG is the study of the life cycle of a chicken. We will learn how to hatch eggs in an incubator.

5. TASK PROCESS RESOURCES EVALUATION CONCLUSION TEACHER INTRO Task You will help Farmer Biles learn the following things: the correct temperature for the incubator candling how the chick develops inside the egg how the chicks hatch

6. TASK PROCESS RESOURCES EVALUATION CONCLUSION TEACHER INTRO Process 1 To learn about the temperature go to the Embryology website. Read the information with your teacher. Embryology website Complete the thermometer worksheet.thermometer worksheet

7. TASK PROCESS RESOURCES EVALUATION CONCLUSION TEACHER INTRO Process 2 You will learn about candling. Candling will tell you if there is a chick inside the egg. Go to the Candling Website to view a clip about candling. Click on Candling and explore.Candling Website
