Lesson2 of 3 in this unit
Cool+PrimaryYear 5 - 6ScienceBiologyEnvironmentalBiodiversityEconomicDesign Thinking
Lesson Summary
Students will explore the concept of biomimicry and investigate how particular structural features and behaviours of camelids and other animals enable their survival in harsh environments, as well as provide humans with inspiration for sustainable designs for a thriving world.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand how the structural, physiological, and behavioural features of camels and their relatives enable their survival in harsh environments, as well as explore how biomimicry can enable humans to thrive in these environments.
Success criteria
Students can:
- describe how features of camels and their relatives enable their survival in harsh environments
- define the concept of biomimicry
- give examples of human designs using biomimicry
- design an innovation using adaptations of camelids for human use.
