Lesson details
Key learning points
- Bats are nocturnal animals, which means they sleep during the day and are awake at night.
- Bats have very poor eyesight, but use echolocation to help them navigate their way around.
- Bats have leathery wings which help them to fly quickly.
- Over millions of years, bats have made adaptations to help them survive.
Common misconception
Pupils may think that bats are not nocturnal because they can be seen at zoos during the day.
Explain that zoos use carefully planned changes of lighting to help the bats think that it is night during the day.
