Owl Pellet Inquiry Activity

Added by Jordan Seigler on February 16, 2018

This is an inquiry activity for second grade and up, and is used in conjunction with owl pellet sets. The owl pellets from Carolina Biological are excellent and come with extremely helpful materials to identify bones from different animals. Many different life science standards and scientific inquiry and application standards can be met using this activity, especially for fifth grade.
