About the Website
“All
About Eggs and Chicks” is a supplementary website to Ms. Yardley’s lessons on a
chicken’s life cycle. Because its intended audience is kindergarten students,
the content is simple and straightforward. Through the use of interactive media
such as videos, sound files, and pictures, “All about Eggs and Chicks” provides
basic information on a chicken’s life cycle, major characteristics of an egg
and chicken, and other animals that lay eggs.
Goals
The purpose of this website is to help students
understand that:
- Animals are living things, and some hatch
from eggs;
- Eggs come in different sizes, shapes,
textures, and colors;
- Certain conditions are needed in order for
chick embryos to develop and hatch, and
- Chickens have a predictable sequence of growth (life cycle).
