Owl Pellet Dissections

2pm-3pm
Owl Pellet Dissections – Recommended ages: All Ages!
Did you know owls swallow their food whole, bones and all? After digesting what they can, owls regurgitate a little lump of fur and bones. These are called owl pellets. Dissecting an owl pellet and identifying the bones inside allows your student scientists to study the diet of owls. Each student will receive their own owl pellet dissection kit and a small bag to take home all of the bones they find and identify. Please click here to review the Teacher Guide for this program.
All children must have one adult chaperone present throughout the class, who will also require a ticket.
Please Note: The owl pellets used in this program have been dried and sterilized, but gloves will be provided for those who want to use them.
