Vertebrate skeletal system (bird). Learn about the backbone and body structure of birds. Sealed in resin, making it easy to observe, handle, and store. 5.3" x 3.5" x 0.9". Weight: 0.8 lbs.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Teachers and students use professionally prepared guides to study food chains from regurgitated owl pellets. Kit allows students to investigate the diets of owls as birds of prey. Pellets are easily dissected to expose skulls and other skeletal parts. Undigested remains of animals provide bones, teeth, hair, or feathers as evidence of the prey animals. Charts of skulls and skeletons are available to assist students to identify the prey animals. Additional exercises can be conducted such as reconstructing animal skeletons or construction of food chains from the skeletons found in the pellets. Safe for student use, this kit contains 15 dried and fumigated owl pellets wrapped in aluminum, 15 student worksheets, and a Teacher's guide. Grades 3-7.
Postpaid coupon for 6-10 early stage live frog embryos. Coupon redeemable in U.S.A. only.
An easy way to observe and study a large frog without dissection. The Pro-Sect system displays partially dissected, 4"-5" bullfrogs. The bullfrogs are displayed in a transparent, safe-to-handle, liquid-filled, plastic tray that is moldered and sealed. Some of the internal organs such as the liver, heart, and veins and arteries have been injected with colored latex to identify their circulatory function. A comprehensive study guide provides information to assist the teacher and students. Individual internal organs are identified on a transparent overlay for study or testing purposes.
