Classroom Science Posters
Genesis Inc. offer an excellent poster that features the barn owl at the top of
the Food Web, above the prey he normally consumes and a description of how they
relate to the owl. This stunning poster shows students what the barn owl looks like
and also reinforces the dynamics of the Food Web. Measuring 26" x 18" in size, the
poster is printed on a heavy low-gloss (non-glare) paper.
Another great addition to your science classroom would be our bone identification
poster. It can be utilized during your owl pellet dissection. It also measures 26"
x 18" and shows students the primary skeletal features of birds, shrews, moles,
and other rodents.
Creating a Science Poster From Your Results
There are also many ways to create science posters from your owl pellet dissection
experiment. For example, the class might glue all the skeletal remains of small
mammals onto a large piece of posterboard, separating them by animal type. Charts
of skulls and bones provided in our teacher kits will help students to identify
each part.
Making Drawings
You could also simply have students make drawings of the many types of organisms
living in barn owl pellets. Usually an unpreserved pellet will contain fungi, moths,
and beetles, all in various stages of development. Remember, though, that our pellets
are heat treated, so they won't contain these items.
With our high-quality pellets and colorful posters created to reinforce key concepts,
you can create a lesson students will remember for years to come.
