I don’t know why certain animals are associated with different seasons for me, but owls are decidedly a fall animal. So let’s learn more about owls!
First you should know that there are lots of different kinds of owls, which you can investigate with this free printable form Homeschool of 1. It has an already colored version and a plain one that kids can color and fill in the blanks with the kind of animal that is shown.
Talk about the life cycle of an owl and put the stages in the right order with this cut and paste printable from Living Life and Learning. You can also grab more owl science worksheets and printables from Homeschool Happiness, which includes a fact sheet, life cycle, parts of the owl and more.

Organized Homeschooler has another free set of owl learning printables including a lot of things to help you if you do an owl pellet investigation. I don’t know why I needed to know this, but you can in fact buy owl pellets on Amazon. My daughter really loved this activity and even kept some of the bones she found in her pellets.
While you’re working with owl pellets you can also listen to the calls of different owls on the Audubon website.
