RMSC DELIVERS: Bats

This fun and interactive program will help your students to understand bats, and the important part they play in our ecosystem. With role-playing, hands-on objects, and demonstrations your class will show how a bat finds it’s way around, what different bats eat, and help to dispel some of the myths about bats while learning some surprising information too.

**Capacity may be limited in compliance with public health guidelines in effect on the day of your visit.

NYS Standards:

• P-LS1-1. Observe familiar plants and animals (including humans) and describe what they need to survive.

• P-LS1-2. Plan and conduct an investigation to determine how familiar plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive in the environment.

• K-ESS3-3. Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on living organisms and non-living things in the local environment.

• 1-LS1-1. Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.

• 2-LS2-2. Develop a simple model that illustrates how plants and animals depend on each other for survival.
