| Impact Report | The chick embryology project is among the favorites of teachers for school enrichment projects in Santa Fe County. As spring approached schools from across the county were targeted to conduct this project in the classrooms. The response was overwhelming and materials for the 21 day project were booked solid for the next 5 months. The lesson included the 4-H agent presenting approximately four lessons to each of the sites throughout the duration of the project. Eggs were placed in incubators and educational display boards as well as supplementary handouts were placed at each site. During routine visits, the 4-H agent would candle the eggs and listen to heart beats with the students as well as discuss the developmental stages of the embryo. A total of over 300 youth from three different school districts from throughout the county took part in the project. The agent conducted the project in grades ranging from first grade through fourth grade. This included seven first grade classrooms that were “spanish speaking only”. Curriculum for the project was translated into Spanish to meet the needs of these students. This included handouts as well as an in depth display board. The satisfaction of this project by both teachers as well as students was overwhelming. Requests for the project have already been made for next year. |
