Twenty pellets. One very loud classroom. Worth it.
Built for a full class period. Twenty pellets is enough for every pair of students to dissect their own — and enough data on the board afterwards to graph the meadow, not just one owl meal.
Why it works
- Lowest cost per pellet of the three packs
- Twenty pellets with twenty blue plastic forceps and twenty bamboo paddle picks
- Big enough sample to graph prey frequency as real data
- Pairs with the free printable data sheet in our teacher hub
