This kit can be highly motivational to students for regular class or independent study. Both teacher and student guides are professionally produced and include easy-to-follow directions. Illustrations identify skulls of common prey species and charts are provided for students to record the data collected. Students learn about energy transfer through food chains while observing skeletal features which identify prey animals consumed. Additional studies can be conducted to evaluate animal populations within the owl's habitat, make calculations to estimate the biomass of the prey animals, or investigate the skeletal anatomy from the taxonomic features of the prey animals. 15 student worksheets, and Teacher's guide. Grades 7 and up.

• This model shows the major structures of an animal cell
• Different colors are used to easily identify the different structures of the cell
• Dimensions: 12" x 15.5" x 4.5" (30 x 40 x11cm)
This model shows the major structures of an animal cell. Different colors are used to allow teachers and students to easily identify the different structures of the cell, such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, centrioles, lysosomes, and fat vacuoles. Dimensions: 12" x 15.5" x 4.5" (30 x 40 x11cm).
The Barn Owl. An Introduction to Owl Pellet Labs. Describes the habitat and life-cycle of the Barn Owl. Computer animation is used to show the adaptations which allow the owl to find prey in darkness and process the prey into pellets. The final portion of this video is an overview of classroom techniques with owl pellets, including dissection and identification of prey and their skeletal parts. 15 minutes.
Introduce your students to the Five Kingdoms through the process of classification. Students view illustrations of various life forms and use a simple, dichotomous key to determine the appropriate kingdom and phylum of each. In the process, they'll gather valuable summary information regarding what each life form "does for a living!" Grades 6-12.
Kit contains 15 sterilized, wrapped warn owl pellets; 1 owl pellet Teacher's guide; 1 bone-sorting poster; 1 vole skeleton poster and 1 food web poster.
The younger students will be able to graphically determine for themselves the nature of acid-base chemistry. The experiments are varied and take advantage of common products. Kit contains: 1 vial Universal Indicator solution, 1 vial phenolphthalein solution, 1 vial methyl orange solution, 1 instruction manual, 24 student data sheets 6 color chart. Grades 5-8.
This still air incubator holds 42 large chicken eggs or larger number of smaller eggs. 110 volt 25 watt. Dimensions: 18" x 18" x 7.5". (Order automatic turner 12710 separately).
Provide your classroom with an unforgettable, hands-on lesson on ecology and the food chain. Your students will dissect owl pellets to study the skeletal remains of the raptor's prey and, using a dichotomous key, identify the species consumed. Also construct a rodent skeleton from the recovered skeletal prey. With their findings, students will construct a food web, compiling a summary of the owl's diet in order to estimate the diversity of the prey available in the ecosystem.
