Brock was required to do a science fair project for his third grade science class. It is worth 2 grades and the best ones will be entered in the science fair. I always want to pick something that not everyone else is doing. In talking to my sis-in-law Shannon, she had just taught a home school class on owl pellets. While at the lake last weekend we found an owl nest and found a pellet in it. Shannon had some that she had ordered left from when she did her class. He dissected 3 pellets and his objective was to see how many different kinds of animal skeletons he would find. Well all three had been eating rodents. The were of all different sized though. And we matched the bones with the chart we had. It was actually really interesting and fun. Thanks Shannon for the idea! I will follow with some of the owl and her babies sometime.
