Lesson #1 - Biomimicry 

Our introductory lesson takes a closer look at biomimicry.  Students’ curiosity will be sparked by the many real-world examples they’ll see.  They’ll also explore how scientists study the unique features of plants and animals to come up with ideas and solutions for everyday problems.  The lesson includes a teacher guide to help you get ready and a slideshow to use with students.  For enrichment purposes, we’ve also added links to extra activities and resources you can explore together.
