Do a demonstration on how bats use their wings to fly. I will have wings made out of fabric so the students can actually feel like bats. We will discuss how the bat wing is very similar to a human arm. Students will create their bat flip book which shows the ways bats move their wings when flying. Explain that many bats have poor eyesight and have to rely upon other senses, such as keen hearing to locate food.
Bats send out a series of beeps which bounce off of objects in their path.
Play the echolocation game. One student is deemed the bat and is blindfold. Another student is the moth which the bat must find for food. Students form a circle around the bat and moth. Children will take turns being the different characters.
