Woodside School second graders know better than to believe the myth "blind as a bat" because in their classes, as well as during SAGE (Supplemental And Gifted Education) they have been studying the only flying mammals. Although their eyes are adapted to darkness, all bats can see, some as well as humans. They have simulated the bats’ experience of locating a baby by its scent or by identifying a unique pattern of sounds. While blindfolded, students had to sniff bat necklaces on other students with scents such as coconut, garlic, mint, maple, etc. to find one that match their own. They were also able to envision 500 bat pups in a one square foot area of a cave, by pasting 500 cotton puffs onto a paper that size. They tried to imagine locating their baby in such a densely populated area. Although we might have a hard time, they learned that bats have that capability. As a culmination to this study, Mrs. Wolf arranged to have a live bat come to Woodside School. Vladimir is new to the stage; this was only his second appearance before an audience. This mega bat had a wing span of about 3 feet. With his wing expanded, students were able to see its thumb like structure. Although they view slide presentation by Bat Conservation International with numerous different types of bats, there is nothing quite like the real thing. Hopefully, this generation will appreciate the value of bats, since they learn that they eat 1000 mosquitoes an hour and have the largest impact on refurbishing the rainforest, and they will not believe some of the myths that have been perpetuated through the years.
