30. My friend has hens that lay blue eggs

Very beautiful shells. But still the same on the inside.

When I taught pre-K I would do this demonstration, asking the children to predict what they thought the inside the brown, blue and white eggs looked like and charting the answers before cracking them open. I'd end the lesson by saying, "just like people, our skin looks different from each other, but inside we look the same."
