Owl Pellets

As part of our Land, Sea and Sky topic, we used owl pellets to learn about food chains and what an owl eats. We had to wear a lot of safety equipment because owl pellets are made up of all the parts of an animal that an owl cannot digest and we needed to keep ourselves save from germs. We found lots of interesting bones in the owl pellets and used them to work out what kind of animals the owl might have eaten. We then used our scientific knowledge of habitats and if the animals were nocturnal or not to identify reasons why the owl might have eaten particular animals.
