Designed for Every Educator
No agriculture background? No science lab experience? No problem.
This curriculum was intentionally built for accessibility and confidence.
Every lesson follows NGSS-aligned and NCSS-aligned structures with clear, word-for-word guidance. Whether you're in a classroom, homeschool setting, co-op, or district implementation, you can deliver rigorous, inquiry-based learning with ease.
 
A True Integrated Curriculum
This is not just a science unit. It is a fully integrated academic experience.
Students engage in:
Life Science – Embryo development, reproduction, genetics, anatomy, digestion
Physics – Newton’s Laws, force, impulse-momentum, energy transfer
Engineering – Iterative design, protective systems, incubator optimization
Food Science – Egg composition, nutrient roles, freshness & safety
Mathematics – Data tracking, graphing, cost comparisons, measurement
English Language Arts – Creative writing, reflection, communication
Health Education – Tooth enamel, nutrition, oral hygiene planning
Economics – Farming systems, cost analysis, sustainability
Social Skills – Responsibility, empathy, collaboration
 
The Powerful “Egg Drop Challenge”
Students design protective systems to prevent eggs from breaking when dropped, applying:
Newton’s Laws of Motion
Impulse-momentum reasoning
Energy transfer
Engineering optimization
Iterative testing and redesign
They measure, calculate, refine, and connect their work to real-world engineering solutions like airbags, helmets, and shipping systems.
This is applied physics students remember.
 
NGSS Alignment You Can Trust
