Summary
This lesson wraps up this unit (Blue Mussels: Expert Sustainable Engineers) by having the students reflect on their experiments from the previous lessons and extend their learning about connections between biomimicry and green chemistry. Students will discuss the conclusions they drew from each experiment and analyze their data from Lesson 2 as a class. They will then consider how biomimicry can be applied to solve other problems in science and engineering.
