Topic: 3D Printing

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to create a simple 3D model using tinkercad and then print it using a 3D printer.

Materials

• Computer with internet access
• Access to tinkercad program-3D printer

Warm-up

• Ask students if they have heard of 3D printing and what it is.
• Show students a simple 3D model and ask them what they think it is and how it was made.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce students to the tinkercad program and show them how to create a simple 3D model.
• Discuss the different tools and features in tinkercad and how to use them to create different types of 3D models.
• Demonstrate how to print a 3D model using a 3D printer.

Guided Practice

• Have students work in pairs to create a simple 3D model using the tinkercad program.
• Provide assistance and guidance as needed.

Independent Practice

• Have students use the skills they have learned to create a more complex 3D model.
• Encourage students to be creative and think outside the box.

Closure

• Have students share their 3D models with the class and explain how they created them.
• Ask students to reflect on what they have learned during the lesson.

Assessment:

• Observe students during the guided and independent practice activities to assess their understanding of the concepts and tools discussed.
• Collect and review students' 3D models to assess their ability to create a simple 3D model in tinkercad.
