What do bugs, fish, frogs, and fruit all have in common? Bats eat them! Create a 3-D science project that shows bats’ eating habits.
1.
Bats are fascinating creatures. Learn more about where they live, how they help people, and which ones are endangered.
2.
For this science project, find out what different types of bats eat. You could read Stellaluna by Janell Cannon, Bat Loves the Night by Nicole Davies, or Outside and Inside Bats by Sandra Markle, for example. Some bats eat scorpions, others eat flying insects, and others eat fruit or frogs! Choose one kind of bat that intrigues you and demonstrate what you know about its diet.
3.
Press Crayola Model Magic® compound to cover the outside of both halves of a plastic egg. Make it look like the bat you chose. Be sure you can still open and close the egg!
4.
Roll a Model Magic ball for your bat’s head. Press it on the end of one egg section. Add eyes, ears, a nose, and mouth in different colors. Model Magic that is fresh from the pack sticks to itself.
5.
Make bat wings by rolling Model Magic flat and cutting the shape. Attach wings to the back of your bat. Air-dry the bat with the wings flat.
6.
Make several tiny replicas of foods that your species of bat eats. Add minute Model Magic details. Be sure that all of the food pieces will fit into the "belly" of the bat you created. Air-dry everything for about 24 hours.
7.
Put the food inside your bat’s belly. Show classmates or your family what you know about bat foods. Compare and contrast the diets of various bats on a chart. Which bat diets have the most variety? Which have the least?
