About This Activity
Through the study of domestic animals, local wild animals and others, students learn that animals all share certain survival needs, and meet those needs in different ways. They investigate external parts of different animals and discover that each part has a function that helps in survival, and that the shape of the part is related to that function. In a final project, students act as engineers, and identify a problem to solve using biomimicry of an animal or animal part. Using available materials, they build a model of their new invention.
