 Bears can help humans adapt to climbing trees in 3 ways: 
1. Body type is like humans (weight wise)
2. Wrap both arms and legs around the trunk of tree to help climb
3. Short sharp claws on front paws]]> 2018-09-30 15:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287336747 shelby_gibson088 https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287342503 Humans can not climb trees very easily or fast. With the gloves, humans should be able to better adapt to climbing trees. The 4 short track spikes at the end of the glove will help with grip of the tree. This new creation will be sustainable because the gloves will be able to easily slide off and on when humans are needing or wanting to climb trees. ]]> 2018-09-30 16:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287342503 shelby_gibson088 https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287343223 2 of the changes: 
   1. Used long rugged claws- making it hard to grip the tree because the rugged claws were getting caught.
  2. Used a rubber glove- rubber glove tore easily and was not sustainable. ]]> 2018-09-30 16:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287343223 shelby_gibson088 https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287343248 This prototype resembled the bear's claws the most. It was also the best one to use when climbing a tree. ]]> 2018-09-30 16:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287343248 shelby_gibson088 https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287856444 2018-10-01 20:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287856444 shelby_gibson088 https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287860319 The organism I chose to explore in nature was the bear. Bears are very fast climbers when climbing trees. Bears climb trees to escape predators, find food, and to sleep. Their paws are designed with short sharp claws to help them grip. They use their arms and legs to help wrap themselves around the tree when climbing. Their weight is very similar to humans' also. ]]> 2018-10-01 20:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287860319 shelby_gibson088 https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287870003 3rd Change
3. Used 4 short sharp claws- way better grip on the tree and easier to use. ]]> 2018-10-01 20:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287870003 shelby_gibson088 https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287871658 2018-10-01 20:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/shelby_gibson088/w2kwwo5wtivh/wish/287871658
