During my 10-week practicum my students were inquiring into the concept of lifecycles. The students were able to see first hand the lifecycles of various plants and animals. Each student was growing their own bean plant, their own marigold plant, as well as their own grass plant. The classroom also had meal worms, chickens, butterflies, and fish. The students had many questions that they were able to investigate and discover the answers to during this Unit of Inquiry. The highlight of this experience was seeing chicks hatch in our classroom. Please see the picture below of a Rhode Island Red chick hatching.
