Today we dissected owl pellets. We were amazed at how many skulls we found. This activity demonstrated the importance of the food chain for populations of animals’ survival, predator/prey relationships, as well as a review of the bones of the body. Students were surprised how many of the animal bone names and shapes were similar to the anatomy of a human. Please ask your student about their experience.
P.S. Some students may have rodent skulls and bones in their backpacks! Yikes!
