Biomimicry and Conserving Desert Resources Part 1
In this lesson, students will learn about desert plant and animal adaptations and the concept of biomimicry. Students will discuss examples of biomimicry in nature and in the real world and will explore reasons why and how society can mimic biological strategies to address needs. Students will work in groups or with partners to research a desert species and observe the form and function of specific structures in that species that have developed over the course of evolution to solve problems with conditions in desert ecosystems. Students will then design and sketch a real-world replacement of all or part of the species they chose using the principles of biomimicry.

This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
This lesson is designed to review key biology concepts with 9-10th grade students using hands-on activities with LEGO bricks. I usually implement this a week before our Final exams. Students will
Students will create flying helicopter models to change the movement and motion by changing different variables. Changing the movement of an object requires a net force to act upon it. This lesson
