Last month, I read the book Poppy by Avi as a read-aloud in class. The students loved it! Then they wanted to learn more about owls, so we started a unit on them. One of our activities was to dissect an owl pellet online (kid wings.com). After students practiced doing an online dissection, we decided to do a real owl pellet dissection. The students thought this was the coolest lesson ever! They had so much fun finding the bones and digging through the pellets! Look at all these smiles & grins -- isn't science fun?!
