I really didn’t want to go to this. Fortunately we have an elementary school with a really high level of family involvement. Which means a packed school for every single event. Crammed and crowded and noisy. I complained, I whined, I moaned, but the kids reeeeeaaaaaalllllly wanted to go, so we did.
And it was fun and they had a blast. Naturally.
Evren sorting through Owl Pellets. Apparently owls eat everything, and then regurgitate what they can’t digest? (or something…) So the kids had fun sorting through all that to find all kinds of small bones, skulls, etc. *gross*
The kids looking baffled – um, we’re supposed to light up a light bulb with a potato and a lemon? Huh?
This was my favorite. With a piece of tin foil and one battery you can light up a small lightbulb! Awesome!
Static Electricity was Ayla’s favorite. Evren walked around most of the time with a balloon on his head.
Evren made a new friend. He has always been very social.
Evren’s favorite part was learning about dinosaur fossils. They even had fossilized poop.

I read recently about this man who collects owl pellets for a living–sells them to schools & science labs. He actually makes pretty good money doing it. Not something you usually think about, huh?
I’m sure I could gather up some chicken droppings if you’re interested.
Love the balloonhead.
