My students need 60 owl pellets to study predator and prey relationships. The majority of my students are on fee waivers which makes buying supplies difficult.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Holt's classroom raised $276

My Students
Science by Doing! Students learn much more by actually taking owl pellets apart in order to discover predator and prey relationships instead of reading it in a boring science book.
My students are 6th graders.
They are very interested in science and love to share stories and ask the most entertaining questions. Their school is in an economically disadvantaged part of town and many families struggle. It is difficult for students to pay fees that will allow teachers to purchase the supplies needed for learning.
My Project
The owl pellets will bring predator and prey relationships to life in front of each student. They will actually touch and smell the pellets along with putting the prey skeleton back together. Students will be intrigued by owl pellets and that will help them learn.
Donations to this project will make a difference in students engaging in a hands-on activity that will have more meaning to them.
The owl pellet activity is part of our living unit where students study food chains and food webs. Owl pellets are perfect examples of a food chain and students will not forget this activity.
