This unit provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge of organisms and their basic needs through a series of activities related to the diverse field of bioengineering.

After reading the storybook "Juan Daniel's Fútbol Frog", students learn to think like bioengineers, as they play a "concentration" style card game and match technologies with their natural inspirations. Students are then challenged 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.
