The WMAES Experiment – Chicken TV

Mrs. Heintskill and Mrs. Lameris second grade students are hatching eggs at WMAES. The students Science Fair project is titled; “Does the temperature affect the hatch rate on chicken eggs”. They collected eggs over three days and recorded the temperature each day and then put the eggs in the incubator and waited. Each student made a hypothesis, did some research and waited for the results. Their findings? Only 6 out of 13 eggs hatched. Now it is time for them to figure out why by looking at their data.
