Biology on a Budget: T-pins and Owl Pellets

 I was in Michaels and ran across T-pins.  I didn’t know they are quilter’s pins.  I’ve only used them for dissections.  Right now I’m scouring websites for owl pellets and dissection specimens.  (Don’t buy an owl pellet kit.  You need a bone sorting chart, paper plate, and a few toothpicks to do the dissection.  Really.). Jumbo owl pellets have more bones to sort; medium pellets are a good compromise between quality and price.  If you only need one, see if you can find Owl Puke used with an owl pellet or a single kit on Amazon for $6.  Educational Innovations has owl pellets for $2.75 each.  Check the shipping.  I’ll circle back to this topic if I locate a good price.
