In this two-part activity, students make inferences about the relationships between egg size, incubation time, and bird size from data sets collected from hundreds of species of birds. Students will also investigate how an egg can exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through pores in the eggshell. A four-day experiment allows students to explore the process of osmosis in the membrane of a chicken egg.
