No, this not the title of an Aesop fable. It's the pictoral adventure of one young girl who loves science! We didn't catch the specimens ourselves :o), but ordered a dissection kit from Home Science Tools which included a frog, an earthworm and a grasshopper. Thinking it would be a good idea to do a 'dry' dissection, we worked on the owl pellet kit as well. Very interesting! And owl swallows its prey whole and regurgitates a pellet containing all of the bones.
Here are a few pics of the dissections Janelle has worked on so far:
taking a look at the owl pellet...
separating out the bones...
and the grasshopper...
(Jordyn suggested that we not show close up pictures because 'it might make people sick').

okay Jackie,
DO NOT give my girl more ideas. :o)....she is already asking to do a fetal pig.
