• Oct. 10, 2007 - Bats

We've had some exciting times exploring science here. One day when we came home from piano lessons, there was something on our south dining room window. On further examination, we realized it was a bat! We were all grossed out and wished it would go away but it just hung there, sleeping. After the initial shock, I decided to use it for a science lesson. First we took pictures of it from inside and out. Fortunately, we have a zoom lens so we could do it from a distance. So I went to the internet to look up activities and information about bats. Here is one that says bats are among the most beautiful and gentle animals in the world. Whew! I don't buy it! Sorry, just looking at them makes my tummy feel funny. This one has lots of activities for kids, coloring and games. Some say, "I want to meet a bat" No one here would agree with that. I took this quiz and only got a 50% so I see that I don't know too much about bats. Never wanted to I guess. If you explore these web sites, you will find out more than you ever wanted to know, I know I did! I also, have a disclaimer that I do not agree with all the content on all the web sites and have not looked at any links beyond the exact page I linked to so caution is advised. Never put a disclaimer on before, how did I do? The bat was gone when we got home from church that night. Who knows where he went but I hope he doesn't return!
