Uncovering Students' Ideas About Using Designs From Nature
I was recently reading the January/February 2022 issue of \u201cScience & Children\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the section, \u201cFormative Assessment Probes,\u201d written by Page Keeley.\xa0\xa0She wrote an article entitled, \u201cUncovering Students\u2019 Ideas About Using Designs From Nature.\u201d\xa0
Scientists seek to understand the natural world, while engineers solve problems in a human-designed world.\xa0\xa0While there are similarities and differences between the work of scientists and engineers, some students may think the natural world applies only to science.
