Use an incubator to hatch a baby chick. You can order an egg from several Internet sites or ask a local hatchery (most will be happy to help out a school) Put a hardboiled egg in water. The egg will sink. Tell your children that you are going to add salt to the water and ask them what they think will happen. Once you stir in enough salt the egg will actually float. Talk to your children about the different foods that bunnies eat and then have some for snack (Lettuce, Carrots, etc) If you or one of your children have a pet bunny bring it to your class and let all of your children pet and watch a real live bunny. If you live somewhere that gets particularly hot. Take an egg outside and show your children how that you can fry an egg on asphalt. My children were amazed at this. Talk to your children about all the animals that come from eggs (birds, snakes, turtles, fish, lizards, etc) They will be amazed at all of the animals that come from eggs. This goes great with the book: 'Chickens Aren't the Only Ones'
