Morning Ag Clips announces UMaine Extension offering embryology project kits
Morning Ag Clips announced the University of Maine Cooperative Extension is offering 4-H Embryology Project Kits on loan to Cumberland County youth organizations. The cost to rent a kit is $10; the fee can be waived for qualifying institutions. A $50 deposit in check form also is required and will be given back when equipment is returned undamaged. By providing materials necessary to hatch chicks, the kits offer an experiential learning opportunity for youth to develop a connection to the food system, and learn skills such as disease prevention, problem solving, record keeping, planning and organizing, the article states. More information about the kits is available online, by calling 781.6099 or by emailing sara.conant@maine.edu.
