    Description
    The project plan includes five sessions/lesson activities, including: • INTRODUCTION TO BIOMIMICRY AND OCEAN INSPIRATION • HUMPBACK WHALES & RENEWABLE OCEAN ENERGY DEVICES • PELAMIS SNAKES, SHARKS, AND SEAWEED: MOVEMENT AND EFFICIENCY • BIOMIMICRY DESIGN CHALLENGE: DESIGN & CREATE AN OCEAN ENERGY DEVICE • PRESENTATIONS & EVALUATION. Students will explore, develop, and apply scientific ideas and concepts through design and making activities. The students will identify areas around the world suitable for harnessing ocean energy. They will learn about offshore wind energy, turbines, and platforms at sea. They will study the history of tidal and water energy in the Middle Ages, where millers used devices for milling. The students will also learn about wave energy and innovative designs through bio-mimicry and set out to design their own devices based on their favourite ocean animals/seaweeds, etc. As a class, they will discuss and analyse the challenges and opportunities of ocean energy.
