The scientists of Division 8 have been working on answering the question, “Would a bat make a good pet?”  First, we asked LOTS of questions about bats.  Next, we looked for the answers to our questions.  Then, we organized the information that we learned on a ‘thinking web’.  

But what to do next?  We scratched our heads (figuratively).  Finally, one little scientist said, “Wait a minute.  Don’t we need to know what kind of bat lives here?” (smart cookie).  We found out that the Little Brown Bat is the most common bat in British Columbia.  The Little Brown Bat eats insects (600 per hour).  We also learned that they are nocturnal, use echolocation, live in colonies and fly.

 

We were ready to answer the question, “Would a bat make a good pet?”
