Did you know owls swallow their food whole, bones and all? After digesting what they can, owls regurgitate a little lump of fur and bones. These are called owl pellets. Dissecting an owl pellet and identifying the bones inside allows your student scientists to study animal ecology. Each student will receive their own owl pellet dissection kit and a small bag to keep all of the bones they find and identify.

Forensic Pathology: Human Skulls is a lab-based program focusing on the deviation from a healthy or normal structure or function to reveal an abnormality, illness, or malformation of the human skull. After a basic introduction to skull osteology, pathology, and lab procedures, students will break-up into teams to analyze defects to the human skull and associated dentition. Museum quality replicas of human skulls are used in this program.
