Owl Pellets

We dissected owl pellets today. Don't worry, we wore gloves to protect our hands from germs. All the kids got their own owl pellet and got to examine all the interesting animal bones that were not able to be digested by the owl. We got out our hand lenses and observed all the neat things we found. Below is a close up of Josie who found the remains of a skull! I took pictures of all the remains the kids found. There is even a picture of the sheet we filled out after we completed the activity.

I enjoyed it when we found bones because I found a skull and I want to do it again. By: Josie

I think this activity was awesome. I found 13 bones. I think the inside of the pellet was really stinky. But all of my bones were really small.
