Description
On Earth, there are a handful of living things that produce their own light called bioluminescence. How can you create a living thing that gives off its own light? By going through the Engineering Design Process, you’ll explore different living things that are bioluminescent, plan and create your own living thing that produces light, make modifications and share your creation. Print-and-go and digital resources to guide creation and exploration.
==========================================
STEM Challenges are a great way to encourage creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. With the tools that I created for you, it should save you time with prep and give you more time to provide an awesome experience for your kids.
