Student Activity Kit, Life Science, Owl Pellet Dissection Lab Activity

Owls have a specialized digestive tract which helps them expel the indigestible parts of their prey in pellet form. Dissecting an owl pellet can teach students the concepts of food webs and food chains while identifying the small animals that are prey for the owls. The pellets are heat sterilized and individually wrapped.
