| LA37-1 : LA37-1 - Indiviualized Owl Pellet Study |
|
| Designed specifically for one student, this kit contains materials for determining the contents of owl pellets. Instructions include descriptions and illustrations of prey animals, including their skulls. A student uses the basic skeletal diagram to determine where bones found in the pellets are located in the actual structure of a prey mammal. The student glues the bones to this card making a permanent mount. Approx shipping weight 2 lbs. |

| AZ1483 : AZ1483 - Investigating Food Webs with Owl Pellets Lab |
|
| Explore the fascinating world of predator-prey relations Provide your class with an unforgettable, hands-on lesson on ecology and the food chain. Your students will dissect owl pellets to study the skeletal remains of this raptor?s prey and using a dichotomous key, identify the species consumed. With their findings, they will construct a food web, compiling a summary of the owl?s diet in order to estimate the diversity of the prey available in the ecosystem. Your students will---
? Dissect an owl pellet
? Identify prey species using a dichotomous key
? Construct a rodent skeleton from recovered skeletal prey
? Construct a food web based upon pellet prey analysis
? Interpret owl prey data from graphs
Grade Level: 7-10. |

| LA402 : LA402 - Owl Pellet Display - Common Prey |
|
| What do owls eat? This Riker Mount helps to answer that question through the study of Owl Pellets. The mount consists of two owl pellets: one is complete, and the other is partially dissected. It also includes the five common prey found in most owl pellets. Used in conjunction with the Lab-Aids Owl Pellet Activities, these mounts will enhance any discussion about raptors or the predator - prey relationship. Approx shipping weight 2 lbs. |

| AZ2973 : AZ2973 - How is a Food Web Organized |
|
| Game-like activity to learn about the feeding patterns of members in a community ntroduce your students to food webs and food chains using this innovative game-like activity. Your class will view illustrations of various life forms, study their main characteristics and determine "who eats whom" as they assemble a food chain of the organisms chosen. In addition, the students will learn about the impact of a change in one population on all others in a web and understand the different factors that affect actual food webs in a community.
