Learn all about the life cycle of chickens with this Chicken Life Cycle pack that you can use year after year in conjunction with incubating eggs in your classroom!

These cross-curricular activities will help you cover your Science Standards while still meeting Math and Language Arts Standards! Perfect for a Spring Life Cycles Unit!

Included:

✦ Egg Hatching Observation Journal: Use these pages for students to record their observations as you hatch eggs in your classroom. You can use them in any order and use as many or as few as you decide. Students fill in the day of the cycle, and then answer the prompts and/or illustrate.

✦ Chicken Life Cycle Sequencing Cards: Use the cards on this page to have your students sequence the life cycle of a chicken. You can have them arrange the cards in a pocket chart or place a small piece of Velcro on the back for use on a felt board.

✦ Life Cycle Sequencing Sheets: Have students color, cut out and paste the cards in the correct order. No time for cutting? There's a differentiated page for students to simply color and label!

✦ Label the Chicken!: Here is a fun labeling and coloring activity for your students. Includes a full color version already labeled that you can display in your classroom, as well as a b&w version for your students to color and complete.

✦ Chicken Life Cycle Easy Reader: A nonfiction text that students can read and reread! This is printed so that you can get 2 pages per piece of paper.

✦ Chicken Life Cycle KWL Charts: A color and b&w version of KWL charts. Have students complete these before, during and after your life cycle unit. I always display my color version in the classroom and have the students complete their b&w versions for in their life cycle journal.

✦ Egg Hatching Calendar: Use this calendar if you are hatching eggs in your classroom. Have students start with day 1 and record until day 21 when the eggs hatch! This calendar is blank so you can have students add the month and dates appropriate to your unit of study.

✦ Chicken Life Cycle Writing Pages: Use this page for students to write and draw about the Chicken Life Cycle. This can be used as a non-fiction narrative of the life cycle, or for students to create a fictional story of a chicken hatching.

✦ Chicken Life Cycle Roll & Graph Activity: Students roll the cube and record each roll on their graph. When one image reaches the top of the graph they stop and fill out the More, Less or Equal sheet or the Addition sheet.

✦ Roll & Cover Addition and Subtraction Sheets: This is a fun game for math centers. Provide students with 2 dice, some two-sided tokens and a game mat. Students take turns rolling the dice and either adding or subtracting depending on the game mat. If the sum or difference is uncovered they can place their token on top. Play continues until all of the numbers are covered. The students with the most tokens on the board is the winner.

✦ Color by Sum: This is a fun color-by-sum sheet for your students to color according to the code. The first page is sums to 10 and the second is sums to 20 so you can differentiate for your students.

✦ Chicken Life Cycle worksheets: Two worksheets for your students to practice matching the terms for the chicken life cycle to the correct pictures.

✦ Crowns: a Chicken Life Cycle Crown and a Needs of a Chicken Crown. Students color, cut and paste to create their crowns and display their knowledge!
