They were fascinated as they carefully dug through the pellets to discover what their owls had eaten. It was an exciting, hands-on experience that brought science to life.\r\n\r\nThis culminating activity helped students deepen their understanding of the owl's role in the food chain. Through observation and discussion, they identified owls as apex predators and recognized that owls are carnivores that hunt and consume their prey.","fullyFundedDate":1746651281365,"projectUrl":"project/those-regurgitated-bones/9326440/","projectTitle":"Those Regurgitated Bones","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Browning","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6770855_orig.jpg?crop=1762,1762,x718,y10&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1567082496713","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6770855"},{"teacherId":8511244,"projectId":9258711,"letterContent":"Thank you sincerely, for your donation to our class.
