Who? Who? Whoooooooo?

Young scholars explore owl pellets. In this animal science lesson plan, students use owl pellet dissection kits to dissect one owl pellet. Young scholars use a magnifying glass to identify the foods that the owl ate.

How can you tell what an owl has eaten? Study the food chain and flow of energy in an ecosystem by dissecting an owl pellet and noting the bones found inside. Additionally, the lesson includes a game about consumers and producers with a...

Students dissect owl pellets. In this dissecting owl pellets lesson, students discuss birds of prey and make predictions about what they may find during the investigation. Students tease out skull and bones and try to make a complete...

Barn owls, and what they eat, are the focus of this science lesson. In a nice "switch" from the classic owl pellet lessons, this one has learners created an animated movie of how an owl pellet is formed inside an owl's body. This lesson...

What can young scientists discover from dissecting an owl pellet? Explore the owl food chain, beginning with an introduction to these predatory birds. Suggested strategies here include creating a podcast and purchasing a poster, however...

Although written for middle schoolers, there is no reason that a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader could not also learn about food chains through the dissection of owl pellets. After you introduce the topic, learners complete an owl research...

Students examine and discuss what owls eat and how their digestive system works. They dissect owl pellets, identify the bones found, and analyze and record the results.

A complete lesson on owl pellets. Students can read information, watch a tutorial, and use their computer mouse to complete a dissection simulation right there on the screen.

Learners dissect an owl pellet. In this rodent and bone structure lesson, students work in groups to take apart an owl pellet. Learners separate all the tiny bones from the fur and use the bones to reconstruct the rodent on a tag board....

Here is a well-designed science lesson plan that shows learners that everything that organisms do in ecosystems, including running, breathing, burrowing, growing, requires energy. After a thorough discussion of their own eating and...
