3rd Grade Video Files

Don’t you want your students to have the opportunity to see baby chickens and ducks hatch? It is hard to incubate eggs in the classroom. It is messy, it can be distracting for the kids, and once the birds hatch you have to figure out what to do with them! This resource allows your students to see every step of the incubation process without all the hassle. You will receive over 2 hours of videos, along with worksheet pages that include parts of an egg, egg writing prompts, and egg drawing sheets. Best of all, you will have ample footage of adorable baby birds!

This resource contains differentiated assignments that are designed to make this unit useful for teachers of all elementary grade levels. I would like you to know ahead of time that baby birds are a little icky looking when they hatch. Of course, they fluff up after a while, and you will get to see them once they do. However, the soggy, dinosaur looking baby birds could be a little frightening to very young students unless they are prepped. You could always skip the active hatching videos. 

This resource covers the entire egg hatching and incubation process. This resource contains videos for each day of the 21 days of incubation, along with footage of the 2 and 3 day old birds. You can see a breakdown of the video topics and the length of each video below. Below the schedule you will see a list of assignments and worksheets that you will receive with your purchase.
