BioQuest® Elementary Owl Pellet Kit

PRODUCT DETAILS

Gr. 3-7 Use professionally prepared guides to study food chains from regurgitated owl pellets. Investigate the diets of owls as birds of prey. The pellets are easily dissected to expose the skulls and other skeletal parts. The undigested remains of animals provide bones, teeth, hair, or feathers as evidence of the prey animals. Charts of skulls and skeletons are included to assist students to identify the prey animals. Additional exercises can be conducted, such as reconstructing animal skeletons or construction of food chains from the skeletons found in the pellets. Safe for student use. Includes 15 dried and fumigated owl pellets wrapped in aluminum, 15 student worksheets, picks for 15 students, and a teacher’s guide. For 30 students working in pairs.
