Beautiful Bats

Thanks to a Learning Kit from the Minnesota DNR, we were able to learn about our flying, furry, night time friends, 

BATS! 

First, we did some research...

Then, we played an echolocation game, where the "bat" had to use only their ears and voices to find food.

Some of us even became bat biologists!

 We recorded our findings in our Bat Biologist Field Notebooks.

 We measured the outside temperature using a thermometer. 

 We looked for bats in the trees around the school.

We helped to keep our bat friends safe by checking for parasites.

And, we learned how bats hang upside down from their toes!

Thanks for a fun week!
