Owl Pellets

On Tuesday, October 14, all the children were scientists. Each child was paired with a child from another class and together they dissected owl pellets. The owl pellets were bought at an area science supply store and were sterilized for use with children. During the dissecting process, the children found and identified bones of the small animals eaten by the owl, i.e. voles, moles, and mice. This project was an introduction to learning about predators/prey. During our trip to Howell, we will be seeing a presentation about owls and other birds of prey.
