Whooo Gives a Hoot About Earth Science?

Help me give my students supplies needed to conduct lab activities in my Earth Science classes. From dissecting owl pellets to using the Mohs scale to study rocks, my students will learn so much more from hands-on activities.

My Project

Learning science is so much more exciting when students get their hands involved. It is difficult to learn about rocks and minerals, the Mohs scale, and how to perform scratch tests without actually doing it yourself.

I plan to give my students as many opportunities as possible to participate in hands-on science activities as they learn about earth science.

Whoooo wouldn't like to dissect an owl pellet to see what it had eaten lately? My students will see first-hand what it's like to be an archeologist and uncover some bones as they dig into a pellet.
