Caution: Scientists Hard at Work!



This past week we studied birds during science, and we focused our study in on owls. Here you see us dissecting owl pellets! It was a whole lot of fun! The Navigators worked hard to identify what each owl might have had for dinner. Many students found a variety of bones from mice, moles and other small rodents in the pellets. Some students found little skulls, ribs, jaws and legs. Ask your Navigator what was found in his or her owl pellet! Also, your child may have come home with the found bones in a ziplock bag, so if you haven't seen that bag, you might want to check your child's backpack! :)
