Owl Pellets

Today in EDEL 436 we got to dissect owl pellets. I've seen owl pellets before, but have never dissected one. To tell you the truth, they grossed me out. That was, until today. Although I didn't plan on partaking in the dissection, I was all in once my teacher, Kim, told us that the first group to find a skull won a prize. Our group was one of the winning groups. :)

After dissecting an owl pellet for myself, I was intrigued. So intrigued, in fact, that I took one to go. We'll see if my husband shares my new-found enthusiasm for owl pellets.

Thanks, Kim, for making science fun. Your passion for science has made me a lot more adventurous, and a lot less timid when it comes to touching "science." I hope to bring the same passion to my classroom.
