Owl Pellets (Lesson Plan)
Throughout this lesson, students will be learning about owls. Students will learn about the owl’s habitat (in particular a barn owl) in relation to North Alabama. They will need to have a background knowledge of predator/prey relationships as we will discuss where the owl is located in the food chain. Students will then get to dissect an owl pellet to see if we can figure out anything about the owl’s habitat or its prey. When students first see an owl pellet, they will probably think that it i

Water Cycle Group Experiment
This is an experiment I use in my class every year. It serves two purposes. It visually shows the students each step of the water cycle (evidence of evaporation is the water droplets-condensation-on the plastic wrap and sides of the container, precipitation is proved by the water collection in the small container) and answers the question my students always ask me ("Does ocean water go through the water cycle?-I never drink or use salt water!") using a clear container in the classroom.
