The tongue of a tube-lipped nectar bat is 8.6 cm long and its body length is only 5.8 cm and its tongue has to be stored inside its ribcage because it is 150% longer than its whole body. Looking at the tube-lipped nectar bat alone, various areas of the mathematics curriculum can be covered, with multiple opportunities for investigations and using…

Hiscock, Naomi – Primary Science, 2012
For some children maths and science are exciting subjects that work side by side, one providing the opportunity to practise and hone skills and knowledge gained from the other. For other children the subjects are disjointed and seem to bear no relationship to each other. Science can provide a wonderful opportunity to practise a variety of math…
