Owl Pellet Dissection

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!
