Summary Did you know that nature is the world's largest science and engineering lab? Learn how designers and engineers use biomimicry to create or improve products. Animimics are the designers and engineers who are inspired by the genius of nature. Using a science called biomimicry, they rely on nature's 3.8 billion years of experience to research and create new or improved designs, materials, and systems. From road reflectors to water collectors, nature has inspired all kinds of useful contraptions to help solve problems in our human societies and try to improve the world. This title supports NGSS for Engineering Design.
