Biomimicry: Inspired by God's Creation

God is a great engineer! Let's study his creation! Scientists, engineers and product designers sometimes model everyday things after animal structures. This imitation of nature is called biomimetics or biomimicry. Animals use different structures for different things. An example of something in nature (a plant) used to help create an everyday object is a prickly burdock bur getting stuck on fur. The idea for Velcro came from studying this plant. There are many animals that scientists could study to help them mimic an animal or plant structure to help them create or improve an everyday item. God has given us solutions to problems and the answers are all around us. I will discuss the importance of studying God's creation and how we can share this passion with our students. Students will learn how engineers study God's creation to solve problems and use the engineering process (STEM) to create a solution.
