Going Batty for Science at Academy Elementary

Students host a Bat Cave Museum.

As a follow-up to their study on bats, Academy Elementary School second-graders hosted a Bat Cave Museum to showcase the knowledge they gained on this nocturnal creature.

Prior to the event, the students researched an individual species of bat and created a diorama of the mammal’s habitat. They also created bat-themed math story problems, wrote bat poems, made bat computer pictures and wrote bat paragraphs. The completed pieces were put on display during the event for parents and family members to review.
