Amazing Owl Pellet Dissection Kit 5-Piece Set for Science Lab Projects Includes Tweezers and Wooden Probes Ideal for Ages 15 & Older Barn Owl eBook Included

My son had been curious about owl pellets, so after looking around at different options on Amazon we picked this one because of the price, tools included, reference materials and the quantity of pellets. The six were more than enough for our little group as each one is pretty densely packed. They were each very different, had a lot of great samples and we learned a lot with the charts and materials to use as a guide.

My 7 year old niece had been begging me to do some “science experiments” for ages, and I thought this was a good place to start. She had a great time. These pellets are nice and large, and we got lots of stuff out of them, including a couple full skulls. It was lots of fun to go through and identify the bones after we cleaned them up, and now she has a jar full of tiny bones on her bedroom shelf.

These were great for my 3 homeschoolers. I was so excited to get these pellets. However, I had no idea how nauseated they would make me. The pellets are fine and don't stink at all. I guess it was just something about seeing all the bones (skulls) on my kitchen table that threw my senses into a tailspin. I wanted to see the project through, but I had to throw it all out. But, this is a great product. Just sending you a caution.

The kid loved it but now we have bones we have to save...

Ordered this to use with upper elementary students as an enrichment project. Quality was excellent - charts and ebook were terrific supplements to the dissection process. Kids found so much in each pellet and had a blast exploring! I would definitely order this kit again!

Bought this for my 7 year old daughter. She had a lot of fun "dissecting" the pellet (basically you just get it wet and pull it apart). We found a shrew skeleton and spent an hour identifying the little bones. A short hint on that one, a quick Google search will yield some more complete charts than the ones included. It is is very fun to ID the individual bones after figuring out what little critter you have.I strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun way to engage your kids in some supplemental STEM learning.

These are SMALL. I suspect these are the leftovers once the larger ones are picked and sent to educational organizations.

I teach kindergarten and we study owls. As part of the culmination of the unit we dissect owl pellets. The kids are totally engagaed in this activity. It was really nice to have the tools that came with is kit. It made the experience that much more exciting and my little 5 year olds really felt like scientists! Thank you!
