Scientists use owl pellets to determine what owls eat. The techroom provides a hands-on activity for visitors to identify the bones found in owl pellets using bone identification sheets. Try out our insect section of the techroom. We have many insects for visitors to look at up-close using microscopes. The techroom contains honeycombs for viewing.
Visitors can also look at bacteria in pond water.
The pond water samples are taken from the Los Alamos area. Some other features of the techroom include picture slides, bird feathers, the wing of a red-tailed hawk, a hypercard presentation, and computers that display our web page.
