COLOURFUL BUBBLES
By: Mandi Dimitriadis
Grade/s: K, 1
Subject/s : Technologies, Science
Format : Printable single lesson
Students learn about bubbles and light by designing and printing a custom bubble wand.In this lesson, students design and 3D print a wand for blowing soap bubbles.They use their wands to make and record observations about soap bubbles.They learn that bubbles have colours in them because light is reflected off the soapy walls at different angles. https://youtu.be/QZKqFgn46h4 https://youtu.be/YZ22dPmWG_E

SURVIVOR!
By: Mandi Dimitriadis Dip T
Grade/s: 6
Subject/s : Science, Technologies
Format : Printable single lesson
Students are given a scenario, pairing a random animal with a random habitat. They research the physical needs of their animal and the features of their habitat and identify factors that will make it difficult for the animal to survive.They consider adaptations that the animal will need to make to survive in the given habitat and create a 3D printed model of their adapted animals.

WHICH HERB IS THAT?
By: Mandi Dimitriadis
Grade/s: 3, 4, 5
Subject/s : Science, Technologies
Format : Printable single lesson
Students research, plant, look after various types of herbs. They then design and 3D print plant markers to identify the different types of herbs in their garden. This lesson is designed to complement a school garden project where students are involved in all aspects of looking after a food garden. They plan the garden plot and decide which plants to grow, they tend and water the garden, harvest the produce and use the fresh ingredients to cook delicious and nutritious recipesIn this lesson, students research, plant, look after various types of herbs.They design and 3D print plant markers to identify the different types of herbs in their garden.

Grade/s: 5, 6
Subject/s : English, Mathematics, Science, Technologies
Format : Printable unit plan
Look at local birds and their beak adaptations. Use the internet and books for research. Students take photos and observation notes about bird beak shapes and diets and determine whether there are similarities between beak type of birds and diet amongst different types of birds in their local area. Students design a replica of different beak types in 3D using Makers Empire.
