INCLUDES ONE PAPERBACK STORYBOOK

As students learn about organisms and their basic needs in their science lessons, they have the opportunity to apply that knowledge through a series of activities related to the diverse field of bioengineering.

After reading the storybook Juan Daniel's Fútbol Frog, students then learn to think like bioengineers, as they play a "concentration" card game and match technologies with their natural inspirations. Students are then challenged to be bioengineers and design a model membrane that can deliver water to an imaginary pet frog in a controlled manner, helping the frog to meet one of its basic needs.
