Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will share their up-cycled prototype and 3D model with their end user, receive and record feedback, then make adjustments based on that feedback. Note: the lessons for 3A, 3B, and 3C are almost identical in this section. This is a great chance for students to share their project with a real user and improve the design.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will 3D print their project (if possible), create a pitch video for their project, share their project with their peers, give/receive feedback on each other’s projects, export and submit their designs, and answer a series of reflection questions.

Estimated time required: 3-4 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet, Video Editing Software.

Students will use critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication skills to create 3D models of bubble wands using Tinkercad CAD software. The Tinkercad software used in this activity is a tool to help students develop a STEM mindset. It is important to allow students to work through the process as independently as possible with the facilitator acting only as a guide.

Estimated time required: 1 class period.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Laptop/Desktop, Tinkercad CAD software.

This is an applied project where your students will choose from three different project options, each with three different users, then use Design Thinking, entrepreneurship, and 3D modeling to create an innovative product for a real user in Ancient Greece! In Lesson 1, each student will read all three project overviews. Then, they will choose the project they want to work on for the remaining lessons in the project!

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will learn more about their user and complete the first two steps in the Design Thinking process: Empathize and Define. They will complete an empathy map and create a well-crafted problem statement.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will ideate and sketch designs for their project.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will create a physical prototype and a 3D model in TinkerCAD for their project.

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this lesson, students will 3D print their project, share their project with their peers, give/receive feedback on each other’s projects, export and submit their designs, and answer a series of reflection questions.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

In this series of Ancient-Greece themed lessons, students will learn how to create 3D models and 3D prints using an online software called TinkerCAD. In lesson 1’s activity, students will use TinkerCAD to create digital 3D models of coins.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Laptop/Desktop.

In lesson 2’s activity, students will learn how to 3D model and 3D print a custom designed Ring Project using TinkerCAD and a 3D Printer. The teacher will preview each project in a "Slicing" application before printing the designs.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop.

In lesson 3’s activity, students will learn about architecture and scale, and then they will 3D model and 3D print the Parthenon at 1:200 Scale using TinkerCAD and a 3D printer.

Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop.

In lesson 4’s activity, students will use TinkerCAD to design an ergonomic pencil grip for Homer (author of The Odyssey and The Iliad) that allows him to write with both hands!

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: 3D Modeling Software, Digital Fabrication Tools, Laptop/Desktop.

In this lesson, students expand their understanding of solid waste management to include the idea of 3RC (reduce, reuse, recycle and compost). They will look at the effects of packaging decisions (reducing) and learn about engineering advancements in packaging materials and solid waste management. Also, they will observe biodegradation in a model landfill (composting).

Students will read a Who Was Book and utilize World Book Student to create a biography report.

Students will be reading and writing myths. They will follow the structure of short stories and eventually publish their work.

The 7th grade poetry unit gives an in depth approach to poetry involving the four strands within the core. I've included worksheets, rubrics, and answers keys where applicable. I have also used literature examples from the core.

Students will be creating a variety of poetry as well as analyzing poetry. They will work with Language standards and take a performance assessment at the end of the unit.

Use this online game to practice your addition facts through 10+10. The game keeps track of how many answers you have correct and incorrect. It even gives you a percent score of your correct answers.

Learn the definitions and study examples of the four properties of addition. Then try the game to check your understanding of each of the properties. The game will tell you when your answers are correct. If you answer incorrectly, it will give you the correct answer.
