Chicken Riddle      
How many chickens will the average American consume in their lifetime? Make math
fun as your students complete a series of 3-digit addition and subtraction equations. If
they solve the problems correctly, they will be able to answer the riddle!

Chicken Wings      
Despite the popularity of chicken wings as a snack or meal item, many people do not
realize the similarities between chicken wings and the human arm. By dissecting a
chicken wing, students will identify the parts of the wing that mirror those of a human

Egg Logic Puzzle      
A logic puzzle is a problem that can be solved using deductive reasoning. A deduction
is a logical conclusion drawn from two or more true statements. One common type of
logic puzzle involves a tool known as an elimination grid. In this activity, students will
learn about eggs then use an elimination grid to solve a puzzle.

Embryology Terminology      
Use this lesson as an interest approach to spark student interest in the incubation
process and to become familiar with terms that may be used during an embryology unit.
This may also be used as an assessment tool.

Hatch Time Graphing      
When you see eggs in a bird’s nest in the spring, do you ever wonder how long it takes
them to hatch? What about chickens—do their eggs take the same length of time to
hatch as that of the doves in your yard? Students will practice graphing skills as they
compare the incubation period of ten different birds.

Poultry Dishes Around the World      
What’s your favorite way to eat chicken? Is it chicken nuggets dipped in honey mustard,
