My Project
My 9th grade biology students are full of curiosity and excitement when it comes to hands-on science. To deepen their understanding of ecosystems, food chains, and anatomy, we’ll be dissecting owl pellets—a fascinating way to study the skeletal remains of prey animals and observe real-world ecological connections.
To make this experience meaningful and safe, we need basic lab essentials: owl pellets for each student to explore, lab coats to foster professionalism and protect clothing, and safety goggles for proper eye protection.
These items will transform our classroom into a dynamic learning lab where students feel like real scientists.
Your support will bring science to life and ensure students engage safely and confidently in our classroom investigations. Thank you for helping my students discover the world through science!
