Wednesday, October 06, 2010. Another owl pellet investigation. Another school year has arrived and I am busy with my Ecologist-In-Residence programs.

Look through the archived entries for other owl pellet explorations and see how these numbers compare to what other classes have found in the past. I am going to try to catch ...

Monday, February 14, 2011. Native Americans and the White-tailed Deer. I've been doing my Native Americans and the White-tailed Deer program a lot recently. In this program I show students how the Eastern Woodland Indians used the white-tailed deer (. Larry tells me that he has found over 60 things made from or with deer parts. See a link I found to a cool poster that depicts some of these items and where they come from in the deer. How many babies do they have? How long do they live? Man is the biggest ...

Schoolyard Naturalists: March 2012

Thursday, March 01, 2012. The embryos do not all develop at the same rate. Here is an egg that shows an embryo that is significantly smaller than the one in the first egg. It will be interesting to see if this egg hatches. If it does not, perhaps the slower development of the embryo as seen in the candling may be the cause of the failure. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
