Again, here's a good chance to see the arm and hand-like structure of a bat's wing. |
Readers are already having fun discovering the action in WILD INVENTIONS--my newest book from my Lerner Publishing Sandra Markle Science Discoveries series. Are you?
Here's you're chance to get a peek inside the book at one chapter. Investigate how termites and honey bees cool their homes but in 2 very different ways.
Honey bees leave the hive, gulp in a stomach full of water (actually 2 because a bee has 2 stomachs), and back at the hive spit the water out to wet the walls. Then they beat their wings to fan the wet walls and cause evaporation that cools their home.
MOUND building termites create huge dirt mounds full of tunnels they build one bit of mud at a time that act like air ducts. They keep remodeling the tunnels day and night to direct air flow. Because of this and changing outside air temperatures compared to those inside, the termite's keep hot air rising/cool air sinking. And the interior temperature of their home stays just right for the termites day and night.
NOW!
Watch the video and share the activity to have fun with air heated/rising and cooled/sinking.
Wishing you Happy Reading and Discovering!
Hi, Readers! Did you have a chance to share my newest Scholastic book on Storyvoice? I've had lots of requests to share the steps for the activity.
And even if you didn't have a chance to share the live Storyvoice action, I know you'll want to share this FUN ACTIVITY.
You'll be able to make sounds the way dolphins do--by moving air. You can also do what I did to make up your own dolphin name.
Don't miss reading to share all the FUN!
