Science in Year 4 - Owl Pellets

We were so very lucky to have an owl pellet in class this week. We heard about where it was found, all about the Barn Owl who produced it.  We then softened it in water and iodine, then enjoyed having a good look inside to see what the owl had been eating that day.  We found numerous very small bones and four skulls of possibly mouse or vole. 
(*hands were thoroughly washed post dissection!)
