NOTE: While repetitive, the echolocation \"rap\" tends to move at a rapid pace so you may have to play it a few times in order for your students to catch everything. Or, print out the lyrics and recite them slowly, inviting your students to repeat them after you for full \"digestion\" of the material!\n\nYou might also consider \"demonstrating\" the concept of echolocation with a game. Try a \"batty\" version of \u003cem\u003eMarco Polo\u003c\/em\u003e where a student volunteer gets blindfolded, is placed in the center of the game play area, and pretends to be a \"bat\", while the rest of the class pretend to be \"insects\". The blindfolded volunteer calls out \"beep, beep\" to which the insects, with full sight and instructions to keep moving around the play area, must respond \"buzz, buzz\". Relying solely on their ears, the bat then attempts to \"catch\" their prey. Once tagged, insects must return to the \"bat cave\" (their desk) until the bat is full (set a limit of three or four insects) and then another student volunteer gets the chance to be the bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo finish up the science lesson on bats, consider creating a slideshow of various bats native to your area or region - including both pictures and audio clips found on the internet - for your students to examine and discuss.
