8. 7. Batman does not have any kind of superpower
7. Batman does not have any kind of superpower. Instead he wears a lightly armored suit which protects him from bullets, and he uses infrared devices to allow him to see in the dark. Although Batman is a fictional character, in reality we actually have bullet-proof vests and night vision devices like this.
Are these kind of technology items assistive or adaptive?
a. The Batman suit permanently gives him super-strength. So it is assistive.
b. They are temporary aids, but they do not change the body. So they are assistive.
c. By day he is Bruce Wayne, but at night he is Batman. This change is adaptive.
d. Batman’s armored suit is assistive, but the infrared devices are adaptive.

18. SPI 0807.5.1 Can I use a simple classification key to identify an unknown organism
Shape Island
You are a biologist who has lived for more than a year on Shape Island. There are unique organisms on this island that need to be classified. During your year on the island, you have identified several new organisms and assigned a two part scientific name to each of them. There are 12 creatures left to be named! Being the thorough scientist that you are, you have pledged to finish this job before you sail home. You will use your classification key which contains prefixes, suffixes, and root words to guide you.

21. SPI 0807.5.1 Can I use a simple classification key to identify an unknown organism.
#1 Analyzing Results
If you gave species 1 a common name, such as round-face-no-nose, would any other scientist know which of the newly discovered organisms you were referring to? Explain. How many others have a round face and no nose?

22. SPI 0807.5.1 Can I use a simple classification key to identify an unknown organism
#2 Organizing Data
Describe two characteristics that are shared by all of your newly discovered specimens.

23. SPI 0807.5.1 Can I use a simple classification key to identify an unknown organism
#3 Making Inferences
Choose four specimens. Make a branching diagrams that classifies the specimens.

24. #4 Applying Conclusions
SPI Can I use a simple classification key to identify an unknown organism
#4 Applying Conclusions
One more organism exists on Shape Island, but you have not been able to capture it. However, your supplies are running out, and you must start sailing for home. You have had a good look at the unusual animal and can draw it in detail. Draw an animal that is different from all of the others, and give it a two- part scientific name.
