Embryology and Butterflies!


Calling all second and third grade teachers!  It is that time for little hands to help turn eggs in incubators and learn about life cycles as you hatch chickens and butterflies in the classroom.  Please note due to equipment limitations this will be open to the first 23 classrooms for embryology and the first 25 for the Butterfly Project.  Round 1 will run will run from March 2-April 3.  Round 2 will run from April 20-May 22.  You are more than welcome to do both but we ask that you sign up to do one curriculum during round 1 and the other during round 2 to give the optimum number of classrooms this opportunity.

 How it works is that we will train the teachers to implement the
curriculum and how to use the equipment.  We will load you what you need and supplement with our juried research based experiential curriculum and daily videos.  We will have as much fun as you are willing to have with the curriculum an your students will remember the experience for a lifetime.

You can register using the links below or by going to our 4-H app under programs and signing up there.  Our 4-H app is a free download from your app store.  Just search for 4-H Now! and download our clover.  When you open the app you can click on Robeson County 4-H and have everything 4-H at your fingertips.
