15 Classrooms begin 4-H Embryology

Fifteen Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools classrooms begin their 4-H embryology adventure today. Fertilized chicken eggs have been set in each classroom and will be incubated over the next 21 days. Throughout the incubation process, the classroom students will turn the eggs, check the incubator temperature and check the incubator humidity level three times each day.

The classroom teachers are utilizing the 4-H "Hatching Classrooms" curriculum with hands-on science activities that reinforce the life cycle standard course of study science objectives.
