OWL BIOLOGISTS


The kids had a great science day being biologists! Last week we read fiction and non-fiction stories about owls. Then watched several videos on owl behavior and habitats, and even saw an owl coughing up a "fur ball." (owl pellet) They've learned a lot of amazing facts about owls.

Today was the culmination of their learning.  They worked in pairs dissecting owl pellets.  They had a diagram to help them sort what they were discovering.  They found skulls and bones from many common owl victims: birds, rodents, shrews, moles.  Check out the pics during our morning of science.
