4-H and local schools, both public and private, team up to offer
classroom enrichment programs. In Henderson County, 4-H offers the
Embryology Program for 2nd grade classrooms. Through this program,
students learn about animal development as they incubate and hatch
Bobwhite Quail chicks in their class. Henderson County 4-H provides
curriculum training to 2nd grade teachers, as well as provides
equipment, curriculum, and fertile quail eggs for each class.
Teachers interested in this experience need to contact the 4-H
Extension Agent for training dates and location. Only 2nd grade
teachers who have been trained to use this curriculum may borrow
embryology materials.
To find out more about any of these 4-H experiences, contact
