The students knew we were dissecting owl pellets a few weeks ago, but we first had to learn about them in our owl life science unit. Once we had our lesson about how owl pellets are made a few students thought it sounded gross, but that reaction quickly turned into curiosity and excitement as they actually got to begin dissecting!\r\n\r\nThe most exciting moments came when students discovered tiny skulls inside the owl pellets. Suddenly, everyone was leaning in and eagerly sharing what type of animal skull they believe they found. Students are now using these discoveries to create diagrams and written explanations about food chains and animal habitats, building both their science knowledge and confidence. Your support helped turn curiosity into meaningful learning, and my students won't forget this experience!","fullyFundedDate":1787337874218,"projectUrl":"project/digging-into-the-food-chain/10500347/","projectTitle":"Digging Into the Food Chain","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johannes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8420823_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651097276863","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8420823"},{"teacherId":3754221,"projectId":10515912,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation!
