\"\"<\/a>Emerging scientists in Kilwinning Early Years Centre have been learning about biological science, through experiencing the life cycle, growth and development of a chick.<\/p>\n

The centre sourced the embryo eggs from an online company which were just a few days away from hatching. Chick eggs were housed in an incubator and the children cared for each egg and then nurturing the chicks once hatched.<\/p>\n

The children recorded their prior knowledge of chicks and chickens through mind maps, researched information about how to care for the eggs and chicks using the internet and gained knowledge and understanding of the concept of a particular life cycle.<\/p>\n

Observations and discussions about the life cycle of the chick were recorded on cameras and iPads.<\/p>\n

The project has enhanced their skills in enquiry and investigation and encouraged their curiosity about the world around them.<\/p>\n
