From Egg to Chick in 21 Days

It has been an egg-citing week in the science lab. This video will give you a glimpse into the excitement that surrounds baby chicks being born. Currently, we have 11 chicks. The first chick hatched Monday morning; click this link to see our first born!  Chick #11 needed a lot of encouragement to join our flock. Some fifth-grade girls gave up their recess to offer encouragement.

We currently have monarch butterfly life cycles, frog life cycles, mealworm life cycles, Wisconsin Fast Plant life cycles, and chicken life cycles in the lab.  You can watch the action with our two webcams; nest camera #1 and nest camera #2.
