This week, we learned all about our first fall animal...bats! One thing that we learned was that bats have amazing senses of smell and hearing and we decided to test it. Using our super sniffers (along with 1 qtip dipped in a diluted extract), we were challenged to find the other members of our "colony" and group together.
After that, the Kindergartners then had to try and figure out what scent they were grouped by! It was a mighty tricky challenge but each group discovered that they had super sniffers. They were able to not only figure out which colony they belonged with but they were also able to get really close to distiguishing the actual scent that they were grouped by! This activity led to an amazing collaboration between group members, problem solving in order to discover which scent they had, and a whole lot of laughs!
