69.246.132.124: /* 15. What are the two (2) main benefits bats provide for man? */

{{honor_header|1|2004|Nature North American Division 2001 Edition}}

== 1. Why are bats classified as mammals and not birds? ==
Here are some identifiers for mammals, birds, and bats. After examining the list, it should be rather obvious how much more like mammals bats are:

'''Mammals:'''
*'''Fur'''
*'''Bear live young (except platypus)'''
*'''The babies nurse from their mother'''
*'''They are Warm-blooded'''
*'''Four legs often with toes and/or "hands" and "feet"'''

'''Bats:'''
*'''They have fur or hair'''
*'''A baby bat is born alive'''
*'''The babies nurse from their mother'''
*'''They are Warm-blooded'''
*'''Bats have arms, hands and feet'''

'''Birds:'''
*'''Birds have feathers, not fur or hair'''
*'''They are hatched from eggs'''
*'''The babies are fed from mom's mouth'''
*'''They have wings, but not hands and fingers'''

== 2. What is the main characteristic that separates bats from all other mammals? ==
Bats are the ''only'' mammal that can truly fly (others species such as the flying squirrels actually glide instead of fly).

== 3. What is the name of the order that bats belong to and what does it mean? ==
Bats are in the order Chiroptera, which literally means "hand-wing" in Latin. This name makes sense because a bat's wings stretch over the forearm and fingers, and attach down at the ankle bones. The name is from the Greek, Cheir=hand; Pteron=wing. They got this name when scientists noticed that they fly with a modified hand.

== 4. What are the largest and smallest bats and where do they live? ==
*'''Largest:''' The biggest flying mammals are the Flying Foxes, particularly those living in Asia and Australia. Several species have a length of 45 cm (17.7 in), a wingspan of 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in), and a weight of 1.6 kg (3.5 lb). The Indian Flying Fox in particular has been known to attain a wingspan of 6 feet.
*'''Smallest:''' The world's smallest bat is the Bumblebee Bat of Thailand. Weighing less than a penny and with a wingspan of less than 5 inches it is also the worlds smallest mammal.

== 5. How many different types of bats are there worldwide? ==
There are approximately 1000 species of bats in the world, and bats live on every continent except Antarctica. There are approximately 825 species of Micro-chiroptera worldwide, and about 175 species of Mega-chiroptera.

== 6. Bats are divided into two (2) suborders. What are their names? ==
*'''a. Mega-chiroptera'''

*'''b. Micro-chiroptera'''

== 7. Which suborder of bats uses echolocation and which suborder uses eyesight to find their food? ==
*'''a. Megabats:''' Use eyesight.

*'''b. Microbats:''' Use echolocation. (Bats send out sound waves using their mouth or nose. When the sound hits an object an echo comes back. The bat can identify an object by the sound of the echo. They can even tell the size, shape and texture of a tiny insect from its echo. Most bats use echolocation to navigate in the dark and find food.)

== 8. What is the diet of the Megabats? ==
The megabats are called fruit bats because many of them eat fruit, nectar, and pollen.

== 9. What is the diet of the Microbats? ==
The microbats are generally insect-eating, although they tend to have a much more varied diet than the megabats. Besides Insects, microbats eat anything from nectar and fruit like megabats, fish, small mammals and birds, and even blood.

== 10. How many babies does a bat have each year and what are the babies called? ==
Most bats have one baby per year, though some have twins or triplets. Baby bats are called pups.

== 11. Find three Bible texts that mention bats. ==
'''Leviticus 11:19:''' The stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.

'''Deuteronomy 14:18:''' The stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.

'''Isaiah 2:20:''' In that day men will throw away to the rodents and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.

=== Which text uses bats in an end-time prophecy? ===
'''Isaiah 2:20:''' In that day men will throw away to the rodents and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.

== 12. Do bats hibernate or migrate for the winter? ==
In the cold climates bats either hibernate or migrate to warmer locations. Bats living in the tropical zones stay active year round.

== 13. Name the parts of a bat. ==
Knee, tail membrane, tail, calcal, foot, wing membrane, fingers, wrist, ear, tragus, forearm, thumb.

The '''calcal''' is a bony structure connecting the leg to the tail. 
The '''tragus''' is a feature bats have in common with humans, being the fleshy part of the ear above the lobe and next to the temple.

[[Image:Batlook3.jpg|Parts of a Bat]]

== 14. How many insects can a bat eat in an hour? ==
600 - 1,000 insects per hour according to their body weight. A single brown bat can eat 1,200 insects per hour.

== 15. What are the two (2) main benefits bats provide for man? ==
*'''a. Eat insects.''' A single brown bat can eat 1,200 insects per hour (3,000 - 7,000 per night). Bats each such harmful insects such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, and gnats. Large colonies of bats can consume many insects that would otherwise harm farmers' crops.

*'''b. Pollinate and spread seeds.''' Bats serve as food plant pollinators.

*'''c. Provide outlet for medical research.''' Their echolocation skills have been studied to help medical professionals help the blind. A chemical agent in the saliva of the common vampire bat, Draculin, is being tested for use in helping stroke victims.

== 16. Build or purchase a bat box, know the best place to put it and install it at a home, church, or your school. Record for 3 months what kind and how many bats have made it their home. ==
You can find online plans to build your own bat house here:
http://www.batcon.org/bhra/economyhouse.html

For best results, the roosting chamber should be at least 50 cm (20 in) wide, 70 cm (24 in) high, and about 2 cm (3/4 in) deep on the inside. It should have an open bottom and a roof. The inside should be roughened with horizontal saw cuts or lined with a plastic mesh so the bats will have something to grab on to. Do not make the bat box from pressure treated wood, but do use outdoor grade plywood or cedar. A roof will certainly help preserve the bat box, especially if covered with an asphalt shingle or with metal.

It should ideally be mounted on a building where it can more readily absorb heat, or on a pole. Mounting a bat box in a tree will ensure that '''no''' bats move in. The bat box should be mounted away from trees and utility wires where bat predators (hawks, owls, etc) may roost. The bat box should be at least 12 feet from the ground.

Breaching is when a whale leaps into the air and falls on their backs. There are a variety of explanations about why different whales and dolphins perform this artful leap. Some researchers have proposed it may be a behavior to dislodge parasites off of the whale's back, while others have interpreted it as a form of communication. Some believe the whale is just having fun!

Spyhopping is when a dolphin and whales are in a vertical stance so they can look at their surroundings above the water. The whale slowly rises straight out of the water, until its eye is above the water surface. After a few moments, the whale sinks back down. Again, we cannot be sure why whales spyhop, but they may be coming up to take a look around.

AY Honors/Scrapbooking/Answer Key

2006-04-01T15:30:37Z

69.246.132.124: /* 3. What is cropping and why is it done? */

= Scrapbooking =
Skill Level 1

== 1. What is the purpose of Scrapbooking? ==
There are several reasons for scrapbooking. It may be to record a special event in a Pathfinder's life, or it may be to remember a special person, or to act as a visual journal. At its very core, scrapbooking is a way of archiving photos safely and at the same time telling a story with those photos.

== 2. Why journal? ==
Pictures are only half the story. When the events happen and we "snap the photo", we remember every detail about what happened, who we were with, and how we felt about the occasion. However, as time passes, these memories fade. Ten tears later, we MIGHT be able to explain some of the details of the photograph, but we nay have forgotten the names of some of our friends or acquaintances, and we'll probably have forgotten the feelings involved when the event was captured on film. Journaling helps us remember all this by having us put the story with each photo. We need to make sure that as journal for our scrapbook, that we don't just record the who and where of the picture, but also how we felt about that event and why. Some of you may ask - What do I write about? Here's one easy step: Pretend that you're telling a family member or good friend about the picture and why its in your album. Whatever you'd say to them is probably what you should journal for your scrapbook! In summary, journal the five W's: who, what, when, where, why.

Remember, Journaling is everything dealing with words that you do on a scrap booking page. It includes the title, headers, captions, and of course the journal event entries.

Journaling is often done by hand. Most scrapbook papers have tiny faint lines to help us keep our Journaling straight. This may take the jitters out of some who are afraid that the page won't be pretty when they are done. Other people don't feel like their handwriting is preferred for Journaling in their scrapbook. If you're one of these, you might enjoy the sources online to download FREE fonts that will give you lots of choices when using your computer and word-processing software to print journal entries, headers, and captions.

'''Some creative Journaling ideas:'''
* Write around the perimeter of a single photograph.
* Write around the perimeter of the entire page, framing the grouping of photographs.
* Use colored pens in inks that will complement or contrast the rest of the page.
* Sometimes write in complete sentences, Other times, write just the facts in a bulleted list.
* Draw a shape (such as a fish, a ball, a star) on the page lightly in pencil. Write the Journaling within the shape, filling up all of the shape. Erase the pencil line. The Journaling remains behind in the shape of the original pencil drawing.

'''NOTE:'''These ideas and others are available at http://www.scrapbookingcenter.com

== 3. What is cropping and why is it done? ==
Cropping is the process of "cutting-down" the photos that you wish to place in your scrapbook. It is do so they can fit in the album, as well as draw attention to the main subject you wish to highlight. There are all kinds of fancy scissors to create perforated edges on your photos and of course "scrapbook frames" that can provide interest for the photos.

'''CAUTION:''' Don't over-crop your photos. Once its cut, there's no turning back. Maybe instead , create a "frame" from colored or designed paper to highligh the main subject. If you're using Polaroid photos never-ever cut them. The chemicals in the Polaroid paper will leak and ruin your pictures and potentially your whole album!

== 4. What are the four (4) main types of scrapbooks used? ==
There are three types of scrapbooks that '''should be used''' for scrapbooking and one type that '''should never be used'''.

1. '''Three ring albums''' - These albums come with three round rings inside a binder. Sizes vary from
½" to well over three inches. Overall, these are the easiest to use and allow you to rearrange pages
readily. The down side is that they often aren’t as pretty on the outside cover as some of the other
types of albums, and the pages on the “3-ring side” often bend, or curl if overfilled, somtimes ruining
a scrapbook over time. The quick fix: Don’t overfill the album or buy the 3-ring albums with the
“flat side ring.” Also, you may not want to use both sides of this kind of album page, since if you
rearrange the pages, the events shown on the back of each page may no longer match!

2. '''Post-bound albums''' - Allow adjacent pages to lie relatively flat when opened, with no separation
between them. Just like the Three-ring albums, the pages can be arranged, though not as easily. Also,
you’re not as limited by the number of pages in an album.

3. '''Strap-bound albums''' - This type of album has an expandable strap hinge. A disadvantage of this
type of album is that the album must be taken apart to move pages. These albums, when opened,
allow adjacent pages to lie flat without the hinge being seen. If you get an album where the page is
bound to the strap, then you’ll need to get special page protectors. Some albums have the page
protectors bound to the strap and pages can be slipped in and out through the top of the protector.

'''4. The Magnetic Album''' - This type of album lets journal entries and photos “stick” to the paper. Its really easy to get a nice looking album together fast. HOWEVER, the acid in the paper will
quickly deteriorate your photos and memorabelia. See Caution note below!

'''CAUTION:'''Make sure that no matter what type or size of album that you end of using, that you get
an album that is archival. That means that it uses acid free materials and that all papers / pages in it are lignin free. Also, never, ever use a magnetic album to store photos in. In just a few years, the
photos will STICK to the magnetic stuff, and you’ll never get them free without ruining them.

== 5. What is the purpose of using acid-free products? ==
Acid pages such as those used in magnetic albums will cause your pictures to age prematurely. This includes sticking to the page, chemically breaking down, and yellowing. Acid-free products help you PRESERVE your memories for years to come. Acid-free glue, pages, corners, stickers, pens, and much more will help you keep your album safe and pretty for years to come.

== 6. What are the four (4) different types of acid-free adhesive? ==
* '''Photo Stickers''' - Small squares of double-sided tape.
* '''Photo corners''' - These come in a variety of colors and are good for mounting square pictures.
* '''Double sided tape''' - Good for mounting lite-weight memorabelia.
* '''Glue''' - This comes in both temporary and permanent varieties.

== 7. What 'tool' is used to sharpen scissors and punches when they get dull? ==
To sharpen your scissors or punch, cut fine sandpaper or aluminum foil. To keep them clean, cut wax paper! More tips: http://scrapbook.lifetips.com

== 8. Name five (5) different types of acid-free paper used in Scrapbooking. ==
'''Vellum''' - Really nice fancy paper for special projects. It was once made from animal gut, but is now manufactured from wood fibre which is, beaten until clear, or plastic. It has wonderful translucent quality and is slow to absorb ink.

'''Cardstock''' - This is easiest and cheapest scrapbook paper. Its available in lots of colors.

'''Printed Paper''' - This may be cardstock or other type of paper, but it has designs pre-printed on the paper.

'''Cover Paper''' - This paper is heavier weight, and is usually reserved for decorating the front-cover of your scrapbook. It comes in a variety of colors and designs.

'''Paper Shapes''' - Pre-cut paper designs used to decorate themed pages. They can at times be 3-dimensional or artistically rendered.

'''Textured Paper'''

== 9. Make a scrapbook of at least 12 pages (8 1/2 x 11 or larger) on one of the following themes, and incorporating the use of colored paper, stickers, decorative scissors, matting and journaling. ==
* School Year
* Sporting Events
* Vacations'
* Holidays
* Building Projects (mission trips, new home, etc.)
* Wedding
* Birthday Party
* All About Me (birth to now)
* Family Reunions

'''Some tips for getting started:'''

1. Get organized. Find ''one'' place to put all the stuff you want to put in your album. This includes the photos, but may also include other “relics” or memorabelia that you wish to include. For example, if you’re doing a scrapbook on your school year, you may want to have a report card, a balloon from a special party, and the championship medal you won. These will all go into your scrapbook soon.

2. Choose your Scrapbook type. Is your scrapbook going to be a chronological record of events, or a
memory of a special theme or event? Once you’ve decided, start to organize your photos accordingly.

3. Collect, create, or organize your journal entries. See requirement #2 for more details.

4. Collect your scrapbooking supplies. Many stores sell scrapbook kits. Some basic supplies include: a scrapbook album, refill pages, acid-free adhesive, a acid-free pen, cardstock and printed papers (see req. 8), and a sharp set of scissors. Other helpful supplies such as paper cutters, corners, etc. can be purchased/used as necessary and as the budget allows.

'''Note:''' Remember that Pathfinders come from many backgrounds, and you need to be sensitive to limited budgets and resources. In this AY Honor, we’re introducing them to the craft, not funding the craft! However, if there is someone in the Pathfinder community that will let the club borrow their scrapbooking supplies, enjoy them and say thank you when you return the well-cared for supplies.

== 10. Memorize Joel 1:3 ==
'''Joel 1:3''' "Tell your children about it, Let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

http://www.biblegateway.com is a great place to get this text and others in a variety of translations.

'''Some tips for getting started:'''

1. Get organized. Find ''one'' place to put all the stuff you want to put in your album. This includes the photos, but may also include other “relics” or memorabelia that you wish to include. For example, if you’re doing a scrapbook on your school year, you may want to have a report card, a balloon from a special party, and the championship medal you won. These will all go into your scrapbook soon.

2. Choose your Scrapbook type. Is your scrapbook going to be a chronological record of events, or a
memory of a special theme or event? Once you’ve decided, start to organize your photos accordingly.

3. Collect, create, or organize your journal entries. See requirement #2 for more details.

4. Collect your scrapbooking supplies. Many stores sell scrapbook kits. Some basic supplies include: a scrapbook album, refill pages, acid-free adhesive, a acid-free pen, cardstock and printed papers (see req. 8), and a sharp set of scissors. Other helpful supplies such as paper cutters, corners, etc. can be purchased/used as necessary and as the budget allows.

'''Note:''' Remember that Pathfinders come from many backgrounds, and you need to be sensitive to limited budgets and resources. In this AY Honor, we’re introducing them to the craft, not funding the craft! However, if there is someone in the Pathfinder community that will let the club borrow their scrapbooking supplies, enjoy them and say thank you when you return the well-cared for supplies.
