- Title
I Will Survive: An Engineering Design Challenge for the Virtual Classroom.
- Authors
Cook, Kristin; Ivy, Jessica
- Abstract
Teachers should ensure students are able to articulate that though the environmental disturbance might be short-term, it will affect different species differently based on their existing characteristics (and not that the animal is changing based on the disturbance). Using their acquired knowledge of animals that already exist in this biome, students were asked to design an animal species that survived the disturbance and describe the features that aided them in survival. In a lesson that involves students describing structural and behavioral adaptations that enabled an animal to survive a disturbance, it is essential teachers directly address this common misconception.
