I love science and I also want my students to love science. Some of the content can be challenging, so engaging students with hands on experiences is crucial for their success. This activity will not only be engaging but also memorable for all of my students. Long gone are the days of the teacher standing in front of the classroom as the student takes notes. In order to captivate my students hands on labs are important. With this lesson, not only will they be able to dissect an owl pellet, but they will also get a deeper understanding of how matter passes through an ecosystem. This activity gives food chains and predator/prey relationships a purpose. The information become more than something that their teacher told them. It becomes tangible with a real world application focus. Please help me help our future.
