UNIT 2
MODULE 2: SUSTAINABLE DESIGNS (cont’d)
Suggested Teaching and Learning Activities
To facilitate students’ attainment of the objectives in this Module, teachers are advised to engage
students in the following teaching and learning activities.
1. Conduct research on biomimicry.
2. Invite guest lecturers to discuss issues related to sustainable designs.
3. Conduct laboratory experiments to determine the suitability of materials or procedures, and
the biological treatment of waste water.
4. Use ICT (including video clips and websites) to demonstrate, for example, the suitability of
materials or procedure, biological treatment of waste water and biomimicry.
5. Organise field trips to an entity that is involved in product design and/or an infrastructure that
utilises biomimicry.
