Owl Pellet Dissection

Our class was a very exciting place to be this afternoon!  Grade ones were investigating owl pellets.  We began by examining the pellets to determine where they might have been found.  Then we used wooden probes, magnifying glasses, tweezers (and gloves!) to dissect the pellets.  It was very interesting to find a wide variety of bones and other objects inside the pellets! 
We used bone identification charts to see if we could figure out what kinds of creatures the owl had eaten.  We found bird skulls and rodent bones too!
