Bats and Sound
Updated: April 6, 2004
This integrated science, reading, and language arts project is an extension activity to a FOSS Science Unit on sound. The FOSS Science program is a national science curriculum that provides hands-on science activities for students. This project cements together theory with hands-on experience for deeper scientific understanding.
“...There are many benefits from the team-collaboration aspects of the project. Students are eager to work together to create attractive and informative slides for the class presentation.”
Vickie Hayes, Lakes Elementary School
