Form and Function is an overarching key idea in Science

Objects in nature: Form and Function is an overarching key idea in Science Australian Curriculum:

Many aspects of science are concerned with the relationships between form (the nature or make-up of an aspect of an object or organism) and function (the use of that aspect).

What do you notice?
Can you see any patterns in these biological photos?
How many different repeating shapes can you see? How many of these repeating shapes are the same? Can you group these patterns ? Can you name these groups?
Do you know what each photo represents? How are they like other objects you have seen in nature? What else are they like? Are any of them unusual?

How does the structure enable it to perform its function? (How does its shape of the pattern determine what it is used for?)

How can you explore? What technology do you have to be able to take these kinds of photos?
