Module 7 : Bigger & Smaller
  Lecture 19 : Why things are smaller/ larger
 

An infant unborn baby is in mother’s womb (plate 2A). The gesture of the baby encloses in a smaller form is in enclosed paradigm. It remains small inside the womb. The small allows it to be compact in bundle shape to protect from outer impact. At this stage it remains floated in fluids while an unborn baby grows inside the mother’s womb. Thus the smaller shape and form gives protection from any outside impact/ shock. Similarly other infant animals as well remain in protective shape (smaller) inside the wombs. It is perhaps the most appropriate example found in nature of ‘smaller and bigger’ paradigm. The compactness of man-made products (plate 2B) follows similar principle for the protection from outside impacts.
#01 Assignment: Observe a bird and try to examine, if its wings are closed or opened what are the possible advantages or difficulties it may face.
#02
Assignments: Design a camera tripod that is compact for travel that will support a camera at eye level, yet does not employ the telescope paradigm.
#03 Assignments: Find a living thing (plant/ animal/ bird) that uses Bigger & Smaller, Growth, Expansion & Contraction, Swelling & Squashing and Hydration & Dehydration paradigms
