Overview
This four to five-week science unit will be a kindergarten introduction to biomimicry and its prevalence in our everyday lives. Specifically, students will learn how nature has inspired machinery, tools, medicines, and treatments. The students will observe, document, and question many items that they see in their daily lives and will learn how we have mimicked nature to create these things.
After completing this unit, students will be able to identify ways that humans have been inspired by nature, compare living things to nonliving things in our society to examine how they have been inspired by nature, compare medical practices and equipment we use in society to natural medicines/practices, and appreciate what nature has contributed to our society and existence.
