3D Printing

Success Zone / Cornerstone -
2024 Fall

Nexplore 3D Printing Start+ empowers students to bring their imaginations into reality with 3Doodler pens. Each lesson combines a structured STEAM project with wiggle room to doodle, explore, and create their own ideas. Students might construct landforms to learn about geography or use geometry to make their own shapeshifters. Nexplore 3D Printing Start+ transforms STEM concepts into 3D projects and sparks joy as students watch science come to life.

Semester at a Glance

Week Topic Lesson
1 Tessellations Students cover a 3D shape in a tessellation, using visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve a problem through design.
2 3D Geography Students create a paper map with a compass rose and key. The map will include at least one 3D landform, made with the 3Doodler pen.
3 Earth’s Structure and Beyond Students sketch and compare a cross-section of planet Earth with cross-sections of other planets.
4 Doodle Multiples Students organize multiples in a table and use them to create a design based on a set of instructions, providing them with practice in either skip counting or multiples, depending on the grade curriculum.
5 Pinecone Counting Students doodle pinecone scales with different colors, then work with the numerical significance of the scales to learn about fractions.
6 Pentomino Puzzler Students create a set of 3Doodled pentominoes and then assemble them to solve the 6x10 rectangle.
7 Doodle-Engineering-Challenge (Scientific Method) A Students attempt to build the tallest structure in the class. In addition to the 3Doodler, students will be given either toothpicks or straws as construction materials. The 3Doodler will be used to adhere the building materials together.
8 Doodle-Engineering-Challenge (Scientific Method) B Students use higher-level thinking skills to make predictions in order to form a hypothesis, record materials, observations, results, and analyze structures to determine the key to building the tallest tower.
9 Puppets and Props Students create unique finger puppets and collaborate to reenact a story.
10 Plant Adaptations Students discover and sketch an imaginary new plant within a particular biome, synthesizing and applying what they know about plant adaptations.
