Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

My Project

My 5th graders will be exploring food webs. Owl pellets are the perfect way to introduce these energy chains.

With the owl pellets, our fifth graders will engage in interactive and immersive lessons, exploring the intricacies of ecosystems, food chains, and animal anatomy.

This project will serve as a reference point as we continue to build our knowledge on the flow of energy within a food web, including the roles of the Sun, producers, consumers, and decomposers.

You donation will provide my students with the necessary resources for hands-on science education but also ignites curiosity and enthusiasm!
