Overview
Students will take on the role of researchers and scientists as they learn about animal adaptations. They will research the adaptations of owls and culminate their learning by creating a skeletal structure from an owl pellet.
Objective
- Students will demonstrate an understanding of animal adaptations by comparing and analyzing various adaptations.
- Students will evaluate the adaptations of owls by sharing our collected research and creating a written report.
- Students will understand the adaptations of owls through the analysis of an owl pellet.
