Wildlife Forensics
This Summer term year 8s have donned their CSI overalls to investigate a number of murders! The prime suspects were owls of the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary. Their victims: shrews, voles, rats, mice and insects. The year 8s received evidence hidden inside owl pellets (the undigested remains of the prey). Students expertly dissected these pellets to remove bones and used biological guides to identify the unlucky victims.
