Africa has so many interesting and fascinating animals. Use these as stepping stones to solve problems and design things.
Lessons about biomimicry require a brave approach to teaching since there is a move away from an approach where teachers are asking questions and looking for quick answers. Instead young learners are given an opportunity to shape and explore their own ideas. Biomimicry and bioinspiration are constantly evolving and new ideas are explored to solve problems and designing innovations.
Duplicate pages are included with different spelling.
The booklet contains the following animals: Monkey and apes, giraffes, zebras, elephants, rhinoceros, and crocodiles.
