Pupils learn about biomimicry and innovation.  They will learn how to use sources of inspiration to create a range of ideas for a product encouraging children to grow vegetables. The pupils will develop ideas and manufacture a prototype.  Variation allows for different material outcomes.

Iterative design: Nature

Physical activity and equipment requiring safe use

Use of equipment that may require supervision for safety, e.g. scissors in KS1, needles, paint, knives, cooking.

What is the process of building objects by stacking and bonding multiple layers of material?
