Skull Kits
Many city kids have never seen an animal skull. Your students will be fascinated by the skulls of seven common California herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores included in this kit. A variety of activities explore the differences among these animal skulls based on teeth and eye placement. Your students will love the Chew, Bite, and Chomp activity that helps them understand the function of their own teeth. This kit includes books for students and teachers.
How do I get these awesome resources?
Educators must attend a training to be eligible to borrow a kit. After you register for a training, contact Sarah Soule to reserve the kit. There is a $30 lending fee, and reservations are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is limited!
Check out our nifty kit page to explore all 8 kit topics and find training dates.
