Green Growing Robots | PBL Design Nature Compatible with NGSS

The focus in this resource is on green robots that are inspired by plants.

Plants as the inspiration you might think. Plants are sessile and they do not move! But plants grow and that might change the way we design robots! Challenge your students by exploring growing robots.

Reviews of other Think Dive - Sparking Children's Thinkibility products:

Project based learning: Bats, STEAM, Biomimicry

"This product is absolutely the favorite one I have purchased all fall! I love the information that is provided about bats - just enough to intrigue and encourage higher level thinking. There are graphic organizers, worksheets, and subtle suggestions to help young learners perform at their best! And best of all, it stretches their creativity! Thanks for such an amazing resource!"

Project based learning: Mammals, Reptiles & Amphibians - STEAM, Biomimicry, NGSS

"Used this for a Kindergarten STEAM club unit and it was a hit!"

Why am I qualified to write these biomimicry resources? I was a member of BEN - Biomimicry Education Network - and a curator of educational resources at BEN. I am the author of the book Biomimicry with Theo & Tuva: Nature spotting inspires wild ideas. In 2015, I completed a course in Biomimicry: A Sustainable Design Methodology at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I took part in the Biomimicry Design Challenge in 2021.
