  • K Prep Science: Nocturnal Animals of the Forest

     

  • Bats Love the Night!

    The K prep class completed their nocturnal animals of the forest study!  The last animal we explored was the mysterious and often times misunderstood bat.  We read a variety of books about the bat to learn about the unique characteristics of this amazing creature.

    We learned one way mamma bat identifies her pups is through her sense of smell.  We tested our own sense of smell by trying to find our own bat babies with the same scent as ours!  It was harder than we thought, we discovered that a bat must have an amazing sense of smell.

    After identifying our bat pups we learned about the parts of a bat, wrote them and labeled them!

    After learning about the bat’s unique characteristics we worked hard to read about them independently…then helped out the illustrator and added interesting details!
