My Project
For many years, my students each brought in a couple of dollars and we've dissected owl pellets at the end of the year. However, as our school's free and reduced price lunch count has risen, the number of students able to afford their own pellet has dwindled. Over the years I have purchased dissection materials, teacher guides, and literature to use with this unit.
Our last chapter in science investigates food webs and by dissecting owl pellets, my students will have the opportunity to explore an owl's place in the food chain.
While doing this activity, students also practice the skills they have learned in my science class (conducting and presenting research, finding mass, measuring using the metric system, recording observations using accurate sketches, and classifying the bones) before they piece skeletons back together and mount them in a project box with their research.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
