Students will discover what owls are and how they live by dissecting owl pellets; they will make the connection that we can learn a lot about animals by making observations of what they ingest, and in this case, regurgitate. 

Students will act out a skit to demonstrate how energy makes its way from the sun to us, allowing us to run, play and even do homework. Students will understand that energy doesn’t get “used-up” it just changes form with some unusable energy escaping along the way. 

Through a competition to build the strongest mountain, students will explore erosion and weathering; they will conduct experiments to model erosive forces on the land and record their observations. 

It’s hard to imagine the size of Jupiter compared to the size of Pluto. Through this hands-on activity, students will use a scale model to easily visualize such hard to grasp concepts and to learn about the relative volumes of the planets in our solar system
