Third Grade Chick Hatching Project
Mrs. Payne's third grade class took part in a project of hatching 17 eggs as an extension to their science curriculum on animals. This was an exciting opportunity for her students to witness the life cycle of these birds. This was the first time for all the students to actually see a chick hatching from it's shell. Here is the process involved in the hatching of the eggs.
