ChickQuest, a Classroom Journey Through the Life Cycle of Chickens, is a 4-H SET School Enrichment Program that challenges 3rd grade students to use Science, Engineering, and Technology to investigate the life cycle of an embryonic chicken egg. From monitoring living eggs to observing fluffy chicks, these lively activities pique curiosity, encourage collaboration and communication, and provide young scientists with unforgettable experiences.
