Laut et al. (2015) noted that the emerging area of bioinspiration is relatively unexplored in school education and pointed to its great potential for fostering students’ interest in STEM. The authors presented a middle school outreach program which included learning biology and engineering concepts and hands-on activities in which middle school students constructed and explored robot fish models. Earlier, Verner and Korchnoy (2006) presented another outreach program that also addressed middle school students and involved robotics projects, including construction and exploration of robot snake models. In both programs, the concept of bioinspiration was used to motivate students while no attention was given to the development and use of analogical reasoning. As biology is studied extensively in the middle school science-technology discipline in Israel, the aspiration in our study was to facilitate a learning process which combines inquiry into a biological phenomenon and design of its robotic model. The study started from exploring characteristics of the robotic environment and modeling activities (Verner and Cuperman 2010; Cuperman and Verner 2013). One of the indicated characteristics was that along model development, the students intuitively used analogies between biological and robotic systems. This indication drove us to investigate the analogical reasoning embedded in bio-inspired robotic modeling of school students. We conducted this study in the framework of the outreach course presented in the next session.
