Event details

We’re turning the museum into a forensic lab! Students will become wildlife detectives as they dissect owl pellets, identify prey remains and reconstruct an owl’s meal. This hands-on investigation brings food chains and predator-prey relationships to life while introducing students to the owls that live right here in Will County. This is an opportunity for homeschooled or remote learning students to experience Isle a la Cache’s programs that are normally only offered to school groups. 

Event requirements

Registration required by Friday, Oct. 30: 815-722-9301.

REGISTER ONLINE

Limit of one owl pellet per registered student.

Isle a la Cache Museum is an accessible facility. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should mention their request when registering or submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program.
