Mr. Barker gives each of his psychology students an egg to take care for nine days.
The Purpose Of The Eggsperiment
The details and purpose of Barker's annual project
Each year at the start of second semester, Mr. Barker conducts an “eggsperiment” for his AP Psychology classes. The project’s purpose is to help teach students about the responsibility of parenting.
“I want students to know how challenging it is to be responsible for another life,” Barker states.
Students must take care of their egg which includes bringing it to class each day, decorating, taking 10 photos a day with their egg, not leaving it unattended, and most importantly not cracking it. With never before seen carriers, names, decorations, and parenting techniques, Barker considers this year’s eggsperiment to be “top-notch.”
