INSTRUCTIONS intermediate Intermediate Instructions Each participant selects one pedigree from the four on the table. Next the participant will select five of the ten HARD labels and five of the ten EASY labels. All the pedigrees and labels are to be turned upside when the participant is selecting the pedigree and questions. The participant will read the questions and point to the answers as they sort through the questions. As the facilitator you will need to keep track of how many questions the participant gets correct. You may have to ask the participant to answer the questions in numerical order or read the questions out loud so you can check the answer key as they answer the questions. Return all the labels and pedigrees to their original position upside down. Scoring: Each correct answer is worth 2 ½ points for a total of 25 points at this station. **This station has a total of 25 points.** Thank you very much for volunteering to help with the skillathon. Please remember to complete the skillathon facilitator information sheet and leave it on your stations table at the end of the competition. Thank You!
