Our middle school scientists in Mr. Martin's classroom were able to explore real-world ecology by dissecting owl pellets—identifying prey bones, learning about food webs and predator-prey relationships, and practicing scientific inquiry skills. This hands-on, heat-treated activity brought biology to life in a safe and memorable way!
Throwback to last week: We had Deputy Richardson in with Mrs. Fortner working with our 6th grade students. Students were able to identify possible signs of stress, including physical and behavioral signs of stress. **And he survived being here on Halloween!
