Select ONE Partner

You can only communicate with your partner on this Google slide.

2 of 8

List three things you have as common interests. These interests can be anything; examples: sports equipment, music, clothes, games, furniture, cars, etc.

Brainstorm area:

3 of 8

Agree on the one common interests for your design topic area.

4 of 8

You have 10 minutes to brainstorm with your partner to come up with possible ideas for designs within your interest topic using biomimicry of animals. (use the next slide)

Think of any animals that remind you of your topic:frogs, gorillas, cheetahs
What unique features do those animals have? Strong long legs that allow them to jump far and move at great speed
How could you design something that uses those features?by kinda making a exoskeleton that increases humans overall performance of strength that then gives us the ability to jump farther and higher and increase speed and strength kinda like a trampoline
This type of brainstorming and building on each other's ideas is an important step in engineering a new and innovative product: advance further In technology and possibly be used in the military

Brainstorming Guidelines

No negative comments allowed.
Encourage wild ideas.
All ideas are recorded.
Stay focused on topic.
One conversation at a time.
Build on the ideas of others

Go to the next slide and do your brainstorming. - Write, past photos, draw!!

6 of 8

You have 20 minutes to to design and draw your new product that uses biomimicry. Be as detailed as possible. *** Label the parts and materials in Your Design.

Simple Example:

YOU CAN SIT BY YOUR PARTNER FOR 20 MINUTES -- GO!!!!!!!

7 of 8

Make a list of the special features of your design and which animal(s) inspired those features.

Special Features	Which animal(s) and/or animal parts inspired your design

Be prepared to role-play as an up and coming engineering company and present your biomimicry design to the class.
