Original Grant Overview
Goal
The goal of this grant is to provide students with a hands on and engaging way to explore and learn about food chains, food webs, and the digestive system; all of which are state standards we cover in our 7th grade life science class.
What will be done with my students
Students will be able to perform a hands on dissection of a real owl pellet. Students will identify the organisms that the owl ate as prey, collect scientific data, and make scientific conclusions about their findings in class.
Benefits to my students
Hands on learning is beneficial to all students and caters to different levels. For example, hands-on learning better engages both sides of the brain. Listening and analyzing processes occur in the left hemisphere, but visual and spatial processes are handled on the right. By combining multiple styles of learning, the brain forms stronger overall connections and is able to store more relevant information.
Budget Narrative
The budget is for owl pellets for each 7th grade student (approximately 400 students) to do in their science class and class sets of dissection forceps and dissection trays.
