Ask your child about...

...biomimicry.  How was velcro, with its tiny hooks, invented? How did researching the flying squirrel influence the development of the wingsuit? Which external body part of the firefly influenced a more efficient way of lighting?

...our new essential question, "What creation can I design that solves a human problem by mimicking nature?"

...what animal he/she is researching to help answer our big question. How does his/her animal use its external body parts to help it survive? 

And as our garden grows, ask your child about our healthy basil and bean plants.
