Learning about owls can relate to learning about birds in general,
nocturnal animals or even birds of prey.
All Done!
Learning about owls is great
fun, especially when it comes
to learning about food.  They
will swallow their food whole,
bones, fur and all and then
later puke up the undigestables
in small little "owl pellets."

    the creatures of the earth.  Teach them that
    God created many different animals, with
    different jobs, and though it seems gross to
    eat mice... just think of all the little rodents

    owls!  (this can help with farming, and
    disease control too!)

In your kit you should find some owl
pellet and more details about the
type of owl it came from.  You may

together the bones to form an
animal.  Look at the shapes of the
skull and the different bones to take

Begin to take detailed
measurements, following the prompts
in your book.  Measure how long
and how wide, what it feels like, and
your thoughts about it.
Step 5
Start separating your bones from the
feathers and fur.  Keep track of any
you find interesting or different.
