Students will identify at least three ways bats are beneficial. Maybe it is due to their ability to fly. Or maybe it is because of the places they inhabit, such as caves. But for whatever reason, bat species are declining at an alarming rate, mostly due to human impact.
Bats are beneficial to man and the environment.
Therefore, people need to help keep bat populations stable. One Give each student a copy of the bat pattern, a paper lunch bag, scissors and glue. Have students cut out the bat body parts from the pattern. Place the lunch bag with the flap up and the opening down. Using the finished puppet for reference and to self-correct, have students glue the bat's body parts in their proper locations.
