Frogs | PBL Biomimicry Design Inspired by Nature Compatible with NGSS

Let us look at frogs - the champion animal athlete with strong legs! Your students will have a wonderful time using tadpoles, tree frogs or big toads as inspiration for innovative ideas or problem-solving. This biomimicry resource will guide you through the process of using design challenges and steam activities to inspire students to ask questions, study the natural world and use creative thinking to explore the animal world.

These activities are fun and engaging. And great brain workout!
