Record on the board. Read background information. Have students decide which bats belong in each category. Record reasoning on paper. Have them sort the pictures into two groups and place them on the collection page.
Teacher holds up pictures one at a time and discusses the grouping.
Place on butcher paper under the information brainstormed by the group. Students may then check their own pages to see if they need to be altered. May use bat information table to provide extra information if necessary. Students will estimate the lengths of different wingspans. Students will record data.
