An embryology workshop for educators will be offered 4:30 to 6 p.m. Feb. 28 by the University of California Cooperative Extension of Placer County.

The agency has conducted the Embryology Outreach Program for 20-plus years. Teachers throughout the county reaching 4,000 youth in the past year have utilized this program.

Come and learn to teach the development of life science skills through Embryology. The free workshop will be at the Placer County UCCE Office, located at 11477 E Ave., (Building 306, DeWitt Center) in Auburn.

The embryology project provides numerous opportunities for young children to learn, through observation and hands-on activities, the value of life as well as information about chickens, ducks, eggs, and embryonic development. The lesson can be adapted for use in school classrooms, home schools, after school programs, and 4-H or other organization project meetings.
