Reviews of other 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, Insects, Lapbook – STEAM, Biomimicry

A
very comprehensive, thorough, and unique resource to teach
elementary students about biomimicry! An excellent addition to any
biology unit!

Why am I qualified to write these biomimicry resources? I
am 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.
