Biomimicry and Conserving Desert Resources Part 2
This lesson is the second lesson of a two-part series where students investigate concepts of biomimicry and apply them to the real world with issues like resource scarcity. In this lesson, students expand on Part 1, where they discussed examples of biomimicry and "redesigned" a desert species. Here students will develop an invention with their peers that addresses a resource need. Students will brainstorm ideas for ways that they could address issues with heat, water and other conditions in the desert by using strategies of desert organisms. They will then design a product and present their design to the class.

In this hands-on lesson, students create a trebuchet that launches a projectile to hit targets at specific distances, as well as launching the projectile the farthest distance. A report must be given
This lesson plan is a continuation of Part 1 (link to Part 1 is included). In this lesson, students will apply what they've learned from deconstructing boxes, and they will design their own unique
This hands-on lesson allows students to engage in the engineering design process by building a new vision technology with applications of convex and concave lenses. This is the 3rd lesson in a series
