<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

We recommend incorporating the feathers and pellets kit when your workshop or project meets any of the following cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

You are preparing a teaching unit on birds of prey <\/strong> or food webs <\/strong> and want to offer a practical experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

You can dedicate time to a workshop with scientific and realistic material <\/strong> that facilitates the active participation of students and deepens the topic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

You want students to participate directly in observation and research with animal traces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If your project is a generic workshop without in-depth knowledge, this kit is not necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
