Owl Pellets

Today the little kindergarten scientists learned about owl pellets.  They learned that owls swallow their prey and when they can't digest all of it, they cough up a pellet of fur and bones.  The students each had their own pellet to take apart and look for bones.  They found skull bones of birds and rodents, other bones, and teeth.  It was so quiet and they were so interested in it.  I was surprised!  Then they begged me to keep them, so they glued them to a sheet of paper.  They wanted to show their family!
