1. Biomimicry Lesson five: Final development Learning objectives To develop a final proposal that meets with the different levels of biomimicry To select appropriate materials for the design To define appropriate construction techniques that allow for Cradle to Cradle design

2. Materials and construction Wherever possible you should minimise the amount of different materials you use And avoid the use of adhesives

3. Materials and construction Materials you select could be biodegradable Materials should be easy to disassemble Waste = food

4. Development Photograph the part of your lamp that you have modelled as part of your development towards a final proposal. Draw your final design developments on A3 paper and include: Details of materials that you might use Details of how the lamp will be constructed

5. Final thoughts Assess your final design against the three levels of biomimicry. Does your final design: 1.Mimic a natural form? 2.Mimic a process found in nature? 3.Mimic an ecosystem eliminating waste from the system? Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

6. Homework In preparation for your next lesson (in the dragon’s ‘biomimicry’ den) you will need to scan/photograph your designs/development into the computer, making a presentation using the template provided. You will be required to present your designs to the rest of the class who will assess whether the design meets the biomimicry levels.
