Montessori inspired booklet using mammals' feet and legs as inspiration for new ideas. There are cards with photos of different types of mammal's feet that can be used to study feet such as swimming feet, running legs, and hopping legs feet.
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.
