My Students

What student wouldn't love dissecting owl's regurgitation to discover more about food chains and carnivores? It is this kind of a hands on project that students will remember for a lifetime.

I teach three science classes a day to fourth grade students who live in rural Virginia.

My students are all heart and they truly love coming to school. Unfortunately, budget constraints of the district and the economic hardships of our families don't allow our students to experience the wonder of the world.

My Project

Everyone remembers their first dissection, the smells, and the excitement of learning about their environment. I clearly remember dissecting my first owl pellet. I loved using the bone identification charts to discover first hand what the owl had eaten. I would love for each of my students to have the chance to dissect their own owl pellet and learn how to use the bone identification chart. This activity would follow the scientific process. Asking questions, coming up with hypotheses, and of course collecting data, and writing conclusions. They would learn all about a basic food chain, as well as the physical and behavioral adaptations of an owl as a predator.

It is very important for my students to get as many hands on experiences in the science classroom as possible.

Our room is so full of excitement on days when students get to manipulate things, make discoveries, and draw conclusions of their own. It is through experience that students truly connect with what they are learning and it becomes a part of them.
