This project will serve as reinforcement, as we prepare for End of Grade 5th grade Science test. At the end of the unit and this project, students will understand how nutrients are absorbed and used during the digestive process. Students will learn that during the digestive process we absorb the nutrients we need to help us grow, be strong, and maintain a healthy body. Students will learn that digestion is a process and in the end, what is not needed is removed. The owl pellets will be used in a classroom lab that will serve as a cross curriculum activity for health and science. Students will use the digestion process as well as a skeletal bone reconstruction in order to identify prey skeletal remains using the pellets. Students will participate in a hands on creative and visual activity. Students will see that owls will absorb nutrients they need and get rid of items not absorbed just like humans. Owls will remove items like intact skulls, pieces of vertebrae, hip bones, femurs, even teeth. We get rid of the items we do not use and/or absorb as waste, therefore ending the the digestive process.
