We started our owl pellet dissection like this. We made predictions about what was inside our pellets.  Everyone had their own sterilized owl pellet and some tools to use. We each had a bone chart so we could compare the bones and skulls we found with the bones and skulls of different types of animals that an owl might eat.

 

 

We had to work very carefully to find all of the tiny bones in our pellets. It was exciting to see how many bones were inside each pellet - we could tell that different owls had eaten different animals. One pellet even had a little seed inside of it - we decided that the owl ate a mouse and the mouse had eaten a seed! When we were all done, we carefully mounted our bones on paper and glued them down. You will be able to see the bones and our owl work on the day of our play, Tuesday, October 29 at 2:00. You will be able to take the bones home with you!

 

 

Our first Parent Support Group Meeting will be this Wednesday, from 6:30-7:30.  We would love to have you join us!
