Guide to Creating Your BioMonster

Identify Approach to Prompt

Figure out how you will tackle the prompt.

Research Biological Principles

Your BioMonster should be based on accurate biological and bioengineering concepts. Research organisms that already exist in nature and adapt their traits for your design. Consider:

• Adaptations: How do real-world organisms solve environmental problems?

• Bioengineering Possibilities: What genetic modifications or enhancements could your BioMonster have?

Design Your BioMonster

Think about the physical and biological traits that will make your BioMonster effective. Some aspects to consider:

• Appearance and Structure: What does it look like? How is its body designed to function in its environment?

• Biological Functions: How does it interact with its environment?

Explain the Science

Write a short explanation of how your BioMonster works:

• Scientific Basis: What biological or genetic features make your BioMonster effective?

• Environmental Impact: How does your BioMonster address the prompt?

Prepare for the Debate

Be ready to defend your BioMonster:

• Why is your design better than others?

• What makes your solution more effective at addressing the prompt?

Prepare your presentation

Make a visual aid like a poster:

• BioMonster: An illustration or visual aid of the BioMonster. Highlight important points.

• Information: Layout the information in whatever manner your team sees fit.
