Big Ideas
- Plants and animals have external parts that help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.
- Humans can solve problems by mimicking the ways plants and animals use their external parts.
Essential Questions
- How do external parts help plants and animals survive, grow, and meet their needs?
- What human problems can be solved by copying features from plants or animals?
- How can we use materials to design solutions inspired by plants or animals?
- What are some examples of how people have used ideas from nature to solve problems?
- How can we test if our design works like the external part of a plant or animal?
