Assignment 5

=Animals Behind the Scenes= California Academy of Sciences Chick Hatching [] This vidcast fits in perfectly with the fourth and fifth grade embryology chicken project. It shows a number of chicks in various stages of hatch. The over voice emphasizes some of the main points that are taught in our unit. For example, the fact that a chick peeps early to breath outside air, but then needs to take up to 12 hours to complete the hatch. It also clearly shows the umbilical link between the chick and the membrane as they hatch. By having the students access this video around day 15 of the incubation period, students would have a better understanding about what they are about to see five or six days down the road. In spite of the fact that the vidcast shows a much larger and more commercial brooder than what we are able to use at First Immanuel, the visuals of the hatch, and the information provided are exactly the same.
