the 'Bat' pack

BATS IN THE CLASSROOM AND BEYOND.

Picture

To kids, bats are one of the coolest creatures on Earth

They put the "bat" in Batman and "spooky" in Halloween. They excite kid's emotions and fill their imaginations. They are the only mammal that can fly, they use sonar to hunt, and can catch and east over 1000 insects in an hour. How cool is that? And best of all... Adults are scared of them. No wonder kids love bats! 

Why Teach about Bats?

"Bats are vital to healthy ecosystems and human economies worldwide. As primary predators of night-flying insects, bats consume enormous quantities of agricultural pests and reduce the need for chemical pesticides. Yet these wonderfully diverse and beneficial creatures are among the least studied and most misunderstood of animals."
​
IN OTHER WORDS, BATS NEED OUR HELP! 

What is the BAT PACK?

The bat pack is a one-stop resource for educators to help develop and enhance lessons, PBLs and other programs about bats, their role in the ecosystem and their plight for survival. 

What's Inside?

  • Picture and chapter books about bats
  • Multimedia Discovery kit for educators 
  • "How to build a bat house" instructions
  • Bat lesson props and models 
  • Inspiring links and activities about local bats and so much more... 

THE BAT PACK AVAILABLE AT THE SQUAMISH PUBLIC LIBRARY.
