Loudoun County 4-H and LCPS - Embryology: The Beginning of Life!
The LCPS Science Office, in partnership with the Virginia Cooperative Extension Office, is offering the 4-H Embryology project for LCPS schools for SY 2016-17. Fertilized eggs and instructional materials are provided from 4-H and the Virginia Cooperative Extension Office; the LCPS Science Office covers the cost of the program.
Please see attached MEMO with information about participation. Also attached is an information letter and registration/enrollment form from the Virginia Cooperative Extension Office.
Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests for new equipment this year. This means that schools who have equipment will have to distribute the equipment in an equitable manner for participating teachers. Schools that do not have the equipment, will not be able to participate this year.
To participate in the Embryology Program, ALL of the following must take place.
Eggs will be available March 7, 2017.
