Owl Pellet Dissection

Today we mostly found shrews, voles, small birds, and mice of course:) The pellets contain the fur/feathers, bones, and skull of the animal the owl consumed. The students really loved this science lab!

I liked the video a lot.

Thank you for letting us dissect the owl pellets.

I'm a new kindergarten teacher and owl pellets are on the schedule. I was doubtful that I could do this with so many young children. Thanks for your inspiration! :) Do you have any tips or suggestions?
