Today students read an article in our Super Science magazine about biomimicry being used in developing robots. Students had to describe the structures and purposes of each mimicked animal in a worksheet. We also read an article on a new skydiving "glider" suit. We talked about how it also used biomimicry because it was based on a flying squirrel/sugar glider.
Students worked on, and some completed a comprehension worksheet during class. Others will finish tomorrow. Friday's articles are simple and complex machines (with some really wacky examples!) and the world's longest train tunnel and how engineers drilled it. Students will be completing worksheets on this. One involving a graph and one has students describe the simple machines involved in everyday items. Students will get work time to complete these in class. If not completed by the end of the class, students can finish up during WIN.
