  Bats adapt in special ways to survive in their habitats. Third graders measured the mass in rocks and grams for microbats and megabats and created a wingspan model using the measurement of millimeters. Students created other bat models to illustrate how these flying mammals artistically balance their flying to catch prey by using paper clips as counterbalancing tools. At one station, they wrote "bat facts". Do you know how a bat uses echolocation? Well, "Ask a third grader." :)
