BARCELOUX-TIBESSART FOUNDATION SUPPORTS GLENN COUNTY 4-H
A recent donation by the Barceloux-Tibessart Foundation has provided the Embryology: Hatching Classroom Projects curriculum, a HovaBator 2370 ultimate egg incubator and brooder kit and supporting materials to deliver to different schools in Glenn County for youth in school enrichment programs, reports 4-H Community Education Specialist, Christine Kampmann. This includes groups or classrooms of youth receiving a sequence of learning experiences in cooperation with school officials during school hours to support the school curriculum. Direct teaching is done by UCCE 4-H YDP staff, trained 4-H adult volunteers, teen leaders, classroom teachers or other school personnel using 4-H YDP curriculum or other educational materials.
The Embryology: Hatching Classroom Projects beginner curriculum is intended for 2nd-5th grade students and is designed to provide background information and exciting experiential activities dealing with life science. The Embryology: Experiments in Poultry Science advanced curriculum targets grades 6th-8th. Delivered to children in their classroom, students can develop an understanding of biology through direct experience with living things, their life cycles and their habitats. Students will participate in hands-on learning activities and experiments throughout the incubation period and will be able to observe the chicks once they are hatched.
The embryology curriculum meets several national science standards and will be used in conjunction with the Ohio State University Extension ChickQuest Logbook that has ties to the Next Generation Science Standards. The students will also be provided a personal ChickQuest Logbook that they will use to record data and observations.
