Cheap Elementary Owl Pellet Pack

Customer Ratings:

Okay guys, you think that this is a funny item but in real life it is fastinating. My husband teaches 4th grade ad each year they make a trip to the Owl Barn at nearby Elkhorn Slough. Each child is given a Owl Pellet to dissect and they love it. All these kids come from higher middle class homes and have all the electronic equipment, expensive ski trips and vacations but have rarely if ever handle real nature. These pellets are filled with a rich history of the day in the life of an owl and as each child dissects their pellet, they reassemble the bones, skulls, etc (now stripped sterile and clean by the function of the owls gut) . It is wonderful and educating and really helps the kids learn about nature in a real and fun way. So some of you may think its gross or stupid or ecologically questionable but it's Biology !)! plan and simple. Owl poo rocks!

I ordered the Owl Pellets as part of an after school enrichment program. I was doing a unit on owls. The owl pellets were great! My kids loved dissecting the dried pellet to try to determine the type of animal ingested by the owl. As part of the unit, I had my students create art by making an owl, listen to a book about owls as predators, and then dissect the pellet. They were fascinated! I can definitely recommend this product.
