Discovery Lab Owl Pellet Dissection

Owl pellets are balls of undigestible material such as bones, fur, and teeth that owls cough up regularly as part of their digestive process. The students were invited to dissect the pellets as an extension of their classroom science lesson.

"The owl pellet dissection is a great opportunity for our fifth grade students to gain a real-life understanding of how food chains work," said Discovery Lab director Taylor Buchanan.

Though some students were at first wary of the spit-up pellets, they became intrigued when they were able to identify different animal bones. As they picked bones out of the mushy brown pellets, a skeleton began to form, and the students were able to reconstruct what the owl had eaten.
