Embryology Project

The second grade class has started the embryology project. “The embryology project is a hands-on, school enrichment program where youth learn about embryonic development by hatching chicks in the classroom.”

Melissa Mracek from the Nebraska Extension Office is providing all the necessary information and tools to teach us about this project. In roughly twenty-one days, we are hoping to have chicks. As a class, we are very eager to learn how this process works. A huge thanks goes to Melissa for bringing this fun project into our classroom.
