Awesome Owl Discovery!!!

My students need 1 owl pellet kit per student, for each student to be able to dissect an owl pellet and discover more about science and what animals eat!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kertamus's classroom raised $280

This project is fully funded

Fourth Graders are AMAZING! My fourth grade class is truly great. They are very interested in learning about animals and animal habitats. In Utah, we don't always have the opportunity to watch animals in action, so dissecting owl pellets would really connect my students to learning more about science.

The economy ... that's it. Funding has been cut, so I don't have the legislative money I need to fund this amazing project that would really be beneficial to my kids.

I need to get at least one set of owl pellets for my class funded. Students will have the chance to discover how an owl eats and how adaptations and habitats work. I would love a chance to share this with my students! It would also be amazing if we could get some magnifying glasses and pincers to help the kids pick them apart.

By funding this project, you will be aiding my students' knowledge of science facts. I'd really like them to learn this so that they can grow up having a firm and factual knowledge of how animals eat, live, and change!
