Bats!

We are reading the story, Bat Loves the Night (one of my favs!)
It's a non fiction story/fiction story that tells the adventures of a bat at night. It gives lots of facts about bats.

​We read about the nighttime adventures of a bat, we watched videos about bats' skeletal systems, we read about how bats can land upsidedown, and we made bat flyers. I think the kids favorite was the bat flyers.

We first started the STEM activity with a regular copy of a bat. The kids practiced throwing these bats to get a good distance. We then added a paperclip for weight. Then I gave the kids a card stock copy of the bat. 

The students could choose which one they wanted to fly. They also had the choice of stance and flying procedure. It was fun to watch them work out how they wanted to do it.

Congrats to our super scientists!
