Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg?

In first grade, it is the egg! It is time for our favorite science unit of the year; The Life Cycle of a Chick! Our twelve fertilized chicken eggs arrived today and have been set in the incubator on our counter. Each first grade classroom has its own incubator and dozen eggs. In about 21 days we should hear these four classrooms filled with the sounds of many peeping chicks! Today our class watched the two video clips below, one being an imovie I made last year explaining chick hatching in first grade, and the other being one of my favorite Youtube clips of a chick hatching from an egg. We learned about the incubator, care of the eggs, and what to expect over the next month as we wait for them to hatch. Stay tuned for much more chick information and photos to come!
