SciShow: 5 Ways Biology Is Transforming Buildings

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: This video was created in partnership with Bill Gates, inspired by his new book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.” Find out more here: http://gatesnot.es/3qLlFgq Throughout history humans have come up with lots of different ways to build shelters for themselves. But sometimes, inspiration for better construction materials comes from nature, in structures you might not expect — like the scales on a fish or the sweat glands in our own skin! Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
