Alex wants to ride his bike. He needs to protect his head in case he falls. Which animal do you think inspired an Engineer to make a helmet?

• Giraffe

• Turtle

• Fish

An engineering team wanted to build a robot with a special function to run through buildings that had fallen because of strong winds or earthquakes. The robot could check whether it is safe for people to go into the buildings. The robot needs to move quickly over obstacles, that’s its criteria. The team is designing the robot with cockroach traits. Tell one reason why the team might have to revise their design after testing it?

• The robot is too slow to move over obstacles.

• The robot is too large to fit into small spaces.

• The robot is too expensive to produce.

• The robot is too fragile to withstand harsh conditions.
