It’s time to get involved in the 4-H Incubation and Embryology project, an enjoyable, hands-on learning experience! 

Chicken eggs take three weeks to hatch into chicks during which time your students will learn how chicks develop, the science of embryology and much more. You can create excitement about learning science with this amazing process unfolding in your classroom.  

All classroom teachers/home school teachers who are interested in doing this project for the first time must attend a training. There are two sessions to hatch chicks: one begins on March 8 and the other begins on April 19, but only one training session:

Tuesday, March 2 , 2010, 4:30-6:00 p.m.

Cornell Cooperative Extension

55 East Main St., Lower Level,  Johnstown

The cost for first-time I&E teachers is $35, which includes the training, curriculum, and 18 eggs.  If you have done the project before and have your curriculum materials, the cost is $25, which covers the cost of the eggs. (If you have your own source of fertile eggs, you may use them.) Incubators may be borrowed for a $5 non-refundable fee on a first come, first serve basis.   

Some space is still available. Register or receive more information by calling or emailing Shannon Dygert at 518-762-3909 x 122 or smd69@cornell.edu.
