• Your teacher will assign you a specific structure or concept related to bio-design.

• In your notebook, write the following information about the assigned structure and draw a sketch of the structure.

Information to research and write:

·         Name of the structure or concept

·         Description (What is it? How does it work?)

·         Materials and shapes used

·         Common uses or applications (for example, in architecture, engineering, industrial design)

·         Advantages or benefits (for example, energy efficiency, strength, sustainability)

·         3 real examples (of structures, buildings, or products that use this design)

·         1 disadvantage or challenge

·         Where do we find this type of shape or structure in nature? 

4. Oral Activity: Presentation

Prepare a short presentation (1-2 minutes) to explain the structure you researched using this template:

Oral Presentation Template:

Hello everyone, my name is [your name].
Today I’m going to explain the structure/concept called [name of the structure].
This structure is based on [brief description].
It uses [materials/shapes] to achieve [function/purpose].
Some common applications are [mention uses].
Some benefits are [advantages].
Here are some real examples:
– [Example 1]
– [Example 2]
– [Example 3]
One disadvantage or challenge is [disadvantage].
My question for you is: [question for the class].
Thank you for listening!

Example:

Name: Octahedron-based structures
Description: These are structures based on the octahedron shape — a polyhedron with eight triangular faces. This shape is known for its geometric balance and ability to distribute stress evenly.
Materials and shapes: Commonly used materials include steel, aluminum, and high-strength polymers. The structure features triangular faces that form a symmetrical, three-dimensional form.
Common uses: In architectural frameworks, geodesic domes, and molecular models in science and engineering.
Advantages: Excellent load distribution, high structural integrity, and aesthetic symmetry.
Examples:

• Space frame structures in buildings
  
  

• Tensegrity sculptures
  
  

• Molecular and crystal lattice models
   

• Disadvantage: Requires precise engineering and connections, which can make construction more time-consuming.
   

• Question: Where can we find this type of shape in nature?

5. Select and watch the video of the structure assigned to you. Then, build the assigned structure using toothpicks and modeling clay. Finally, prepare a presentation in pairs to present it to the teacher :

4. Make a drawing that represents the concept of tensegrity. 

5. Information to research and write:

·         Name of the structure or concept

·         Description (What is it? How does it work?)

·         Materials and shapes used

·         Common uses or applications (for example, in architecture, engineering, industrial design)

·         Advantages or benefits (for example, energy efficiency, strength, sustainability)

·         3 real examples (of structures, buildings, or products that use this design)

·         1 disadvantage or challenge

·         Where do we find this type of shape or structure in nature? 

6. Oral Activity: Presentation

Prepare a short presentation (1-2 minutes) to explain the structure you researched using this template:

Hello everyone, my name is [your names].
Today we are going to explain the structure called: _______________________.
This structure is based on a design principle where isolated rigid components (usually bars or struts) are held in place by a network of continuous tension (like cables or elastic cords)

 It uses lightweight materials and geometric shapes to achieve stability, strength, and flexibility.
Some common applications are in architecture, robotics, medicine, and art.
Some benefits are efficient use of materials, lightweight design, and strong structural performance.
Here are some real examples:
– The Kurilpa Bridge in Brisbane, Australia
– NASA's tensegrity robot for planetary exploration
– Tensegrity sculptures by Kenneth Snelson

One disadvantage or challenge is that tensegrity structures can be difficult to design and assemble due to the need for precise balance between tension and compression.
My question for you is: Where can we find tensegrity structures in nature? 

We can find tensegrity structures in several natural systems. One of the best examples is the human body, especially in the musculoskeletal system. In our bodies:

• Bones act like the rigid struts (in compression),
  
  

• Muscles, tendons, and ligaments act like the tension cables.
  
  

These elements work together to keep the body stable, balanced, and flexible — just like a tensegrity structure.

Another example is at the cellular level. The cytoskeleton of a cell, which gives it shape and structural support, also functions as a tensegrity system. It helps cells respond to mechanical forces and maintain their form.

The building is inspired by the structure of plants and nature. Is specific inspired by the shape of a sunflower 

Here are five characteristics of the Eden Project:

• It has big domes that look like bubbles.
  
  

• It uses natural light to save energy.
