• Embryology

  Embryology Overview

  We would love to join your class on their embryology adventure! This enrichment program consists of local 4-H support through intial introduction, curriculum and supplies. Supplies are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We can be scheduled for the intial introduction lesson if you have your own supplies. 

  Intial Introduction

  The 4-H Agent or 4-H Program Assistant will come and visit with your classroom to introduce embryology and what you and your students will be doing for the next 21 days! This introduction goes over what embryology is, important information about incubation and what supplies you will need. 

  Curriculum 

  FL 4-H has designed curriculum that you will receive that you can utilize in your teaching over the 21 day span. We would be happy to share a sample with you upon request.

  Supplies

  We currently have the following items available for check-out: 

  • Incubators w/ automatic egg turners (3)
  • Candeling lights (3)
  • Hatching With My Peeps interactive countdown calendar
