Birds: Egg to Chicken
Order a bird's life cycle: egg, chick, adult.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 47
- A chicken's life starts in an egg. The mother hen sits on her eggs to keep them warm.
- After about 3 weeks, the chick pecks through the shell and hatches!
- The fluffy chick grows feathers and gets bigger, until it's an adult chicken. Hens lay eggs, and the cycle goes on.
- All birds hatch from eggs, and all birds have feathers. Bats fly, but they have fur, so they're mammals, not birds!
- Your turn! Put a chicken's life cycle in order.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S2L1.a — Ask questions to determine the sequence of the life cycle of common animals in your area: a mammal such as a cat, dog or classroom pet, a bird such as a chicken, an amphibian such as a frog, and an insect such as a butterfly.
