Bring real science to the table.
The Biology & Anatomy Solo Essentials Premium Experience is a complete, hands-on dissection kit built around one authentic, heat-sterilized barn owl pellet. No simulations. No plastic bones. Just the real biological story, waiting to be uncovered.
Perfect for independent learners, homeschool environments, enrichment programs, and anyone ready to trade worksheets for evidence.
• 1 Heat-Sterilized Barn Owl Pellet
Collected in the wild and professionally heat-treated for safe classroom use.
• Illustrated Instruction Guide
Clear, step-by-step excavation guidance plus a graphic explanation of what an owl pellet is and how it forms inside the owl's digestive system.
• Excavation Tools
Precision pick-and-forceps for careful bone recovery and identification.
• Resealable Storage Pouch
The same durable pouch your kit arrives in doubles as secure storage for your recovered bones and findings.
Choose the experience that fits your learning goals:
• Economy / Small (1.0" – 1.49")
• Standard / Medium (1.5" – 2.49")
• Premium / Large (2.5"+)
Larger pellets typically contain more material and may yield a greater variety of identifiable bones, making them ideal for deeper analysis and extended study.
Instead of memorizing food webs, learners uncover them.
As owls consume prey whole, indigestible material such as fur and bones is compressed into a pellet inside the gizzard. After digestion, the pellet is regurgitated, creating a compact biological record of the owl's last meal.
Inside this single pellet, students may discover skulls, jawbones, vertebrae, ribs, and limb bones from small mammals. Each fragment becomes data. Each bone becomes evidence.
It's anatomy, ecology, and predator-prey relationships in one small, powerful package.
• Encourages observation, classification, and comparative anatomy
• Reinforces ecosystem concepts and trophic relationships
• Builds analytical thinking through hands-on discovery
• Supports NGSS-aligned scientific practices
This isn't busywork. It's applied biology.
• Homeschool science lessons
• Middle school and high school biology
• STEM enrichment
• Independent study projects
• Nature-curious adults who aren't afraid of a bit of fur
From the pouch to the pick to the preserved bones, everything you need is included. Open it. Explore it. Store your discoveries. Repeat.
Science doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to be real.
Sterilized barn owl pellets from Owl Brand Supply Company and Discovery Kits come in three sizes and from two regions of the United States, including SW US and NW US.
Here are the size ranges for both regions, which are also described in each product detail. The general rule of thumb is, the larger the pellet, the more prey there are in it.
Please note, we cannot make any guarantee of what is inside the pellet. Only you can do that when you dissect it!
