HANDS ON SCIENCE-- The kids did a great job, dissecting the Owl Pellets and finding the vole/mouse skeleton inside.
Many of us brought it home, and I look forward to seeing if anyone assembles a whole skeleton.
We learned that an owl has 2 parts to it's digestive system. A gizzard holds all undigestible material and is eventually spit up by the owl before it can eat again.
God made birds on day 5. He gave these owls the ability to see well in the dark, so that they can survive and multiply.
They are able to survive so well, based on the way they were created and designed.
Because of the specific design of their neck, ears and large tubular  eyes, they are able to rotate their head 270 degrees, differentiate many sounds and see very well in complete darkness.
