Use outside parts as ideas for helpful designs.

Look for Ideas

Listen to the notes. Use what Tessa sees to solve the bench problems.

At the Sketch Bench

Tessa sketches plants at a rainforest field bench. Her crayon cup slides down the smooth drawing board. Her rolled paper falls off the bench rail. She looks at living things for ideas.

A tree frog rests on a smooth leaf. Pads on its toes help it cling while it hunts for food. Nearby, a vine grows toward light. Thin parts called tendrils curl around twigs and hold the vine up.

Tessa will make models, not use living frogs or vines. She has soft grip pads, smooth card, and soft bendy strips. She will test her models at the bench.

Think about the frog and the cup.
