Science-U campers find out what's on an owl's menu when they dissect a ball of bones and fur called an "owl pellet" - a regurgitated chunk of undigested food that is part of an owl's digestive process. Can you determine what an owl eats by dissecting an owl pellet? Try it yourself with step-by-step instructions and guided scientific questions available in the downloadable handout, or at the Science U website.
