Abraham Lincoln A skunk’s publicity, as referenced above, would be its chemical defense system. All skunks have a highly developed, musk-filled scent glands (even the babies have developed the glands by day eight). The pungent musk can be sprayed from two special glands near the skunk’s anus up to 10 feet away about five times before running out of fluid. It takes about ten days for the musk to be fully regenerated. Predators Ernest Thompson Seton (one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America) described the oily, yellow-colored musk as a perfume with the essence of garlic, burning sulfur and sewer gas “magnified a thousand times.” As such, the skunk has few natural predators which include cougars, coyotes, bobcats, badgers, foxes, and predatory bird such as eagles and owls.

SYSnM Dr. David P. Driscoll, Commissioner of Education Copyright © 2005 Massachusetts Department of Education Permission is hereby granted to copy any or all parts of this document for non-commercial educational purposes. Please credit the "Massachusetts Department of Education." This document is printed on recycled paper. 350 Main Street, Maiden, Massachusetts 02148-5023 781-338-3000 www.doe.mass.edu Commissioners Foreword Dear Colleagues: The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) is the Commonwealth's statewide testing program for public school students. Designed to meet the provisions of the Education Reform Law of 1993, MCAS is based exclusively on the learning standards contained in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. The MCAS program was developed with the active involvement of educators from across the state and with the support of the Board of Education. Together, the Frameworks and MCAS are continuing to help schools and districts raise the academic achievement of all students in the Commonwealth. One of the goals of the Department of Education is to help schools acquire the capacity to plan for and meet the accountability requirements of both state and federal law. In keeping with this goal, the Department regularly releases MCAS test items to provide information regarding the kinds of knowledge and skills that students are expected to demonstrate. Local educators are encouraged to use this document together with their school's Test Item Analysis Reports as a guide for planning changes in curriculum and instruction that may be needed to ensure that schools and districts make regular progress in improving student perfomance.

Each panelist r eflected upon their experiences using live owls in their own envir onmental education and/or research pr ograms. Per manently disabled or imprinted owls can live long, useful lives as ambassadors fr om the world of wildlife. Given pr oper handling, training and car e, these owls provide a com- pelling connection to the natural world for both childr en and adults. Likewise, an up-close and personal encounter with a wild owl can open minds of any age to the br oader issues of conservation. Discus- sion of the agenda topics among the panelists, moderator and 74 workshop attendees was lively and stimulating. Attendees com- mented and asked questions. Discussion topics included pr ogram descriptions, teaching and handling techniques, ethics, cosmetics of non-r eleaseable owls, communication between educators and r e- searchers, the virtues of owl pellets as teaching tools and issues regarding their sour ces, travel techniques, and use of the Inter net among educators, students and r esearchers.
