Instead of teeth, they have what are called baleen plates. The plates are long and hang from the top of the whales mouth like teeth, but they are flexible like hairs and strong like teeth.]]> 2017-03-06 20:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158168648 vickers_m_abbie https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158170197 2017-03-06 20:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158170197 vickers_m_abbie https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158170551 The baleen plates helps whales get their food by filtering out larger items; the strain ocean water through the plates to get krill and other small animals.]]> 2017-03-06 20:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158170551 Baleen Whale Families vickers_m_abbie https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158171212 Gray whales

The texture and flexibility can help design cleaning supplies]]> 2017-03-06 20:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158174191 Why do we need the adaptation? vickers_m_abbie https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158174668 Baleen whales need the adaptation to make sure they are eating the right foods. Their teeth act like a filter. Humans need an adaptation like this to filter water, sift through minerals, or create cleaning supplies]]> 2017-03-06 20:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158174668 Prototype 1 vickers_m_abbie https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158182722 2017-03-06 21:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158182722 Prototype 2 vickers_m_abbie https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158182788 2017-03-06 21:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158182788 Prototype 3 vickers_m_abbie https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158182861 2017-03-06 21:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158182861 Change in Prototype vickers_m_abbie https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158183123 The first prototype was directly modeled after the whale's mouth, but wouldn't work because there was no tension. The second prototype included a second PVC pipe to add tension, but the filter still did not have the strength it needed. The hoop in prototype three helped the yarn retain tension while still being fibrous, flexible, and layered.]]> 2017-03-06 21:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vickers_m_abbie/uolm4l3gz3w6/wish/158183123
