Embryology

The "Beginning of Life" 4-H Embryology project provides the opportunity for children between the ages of 5-18 to explore the life and growth processes utilizing the chick embryo. The Embryology Program centers on the incubation of eggs. One dozen fertile eggs will be provided as available to each school or youth group on a first-come/first-serve basis for each incubator they plan to use in conducting the project. The anticipation of the hatch greatly adds to student interest and excitement about learning!
