Activity 4- Nature Walk
Objectives:
- Students will have an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate nature.
- Students will be able to find at least one example of biomimicry while on the nature walk.
Materials: paper, clipboard, pencil/crayons
Plan:
After reviewing the past activities and the definition of biomimicry again, I will explain to the students that we will be taking a nature walk. The purpose of this walk is not only for the students to be able to identify one way that they see biomimicry in our community, but this is also to give students an opportunity to be outside to enjoy, appreciate, and observe nature and their community. Students will each have a clipboard, paper, and a writing utensil on their paper students will draw pictures of things that they see during the walk that may have been inspired by nature. After spending some time outside, I would invite the students back into the classroom and allow the students to discuss with their tables what they saw and how they felt during the walk. We will have a discussion as a class and share out many of the ideas that students saw that they thought were examples of biomimicry. I will collect the papers as well to ensure that I see work from each student, even if they did not get the opportunity to share.
