Talk about Velcro®, Gecko Tape, WhalePower turbine blades, and other innovations that mimic nature to inspire your STEM or engineering class. This set of worksheets gets them thinking about imitating nature in terms of sustainable design. Learners are not likely to know examples of each operating principle, so this would be best used as a note-taking guide while you introduce them to each.
