Eggs-ploring Inheritance Patterns
This activity uses plastic eggs to get you to explore various inheritance patterns
that exist in nature. As you go through this activity, you may come across things
that you already know. However, there will also be some things that you haven't
yet seen. Don't let this stop you from figuring out what is going on. If you get
stumped, talk things over with your group members first and come up with an
idea before you call me over.
