Science Friday


A recipe for a fun learning science class: an abandoned building, four boats with homeschooled kids aboard, and the internet.

The lesson was about bats. Eight students ranging from four to eleven years, five boys and three girls, participated. Creativity shone with colorful bat pictures and charades of bat facts. A short video related more facts and a quiz reaffirmed them. The finale was a trip to the abandoned building to visit hundreds of sleeping bats. The kids loved it!

Ira Flato would be proud.
