Learning Activities

Description

At first we will discuss with students about the scale. After that students will fill out a worksheet. At the end of the course we should guide students how to design a spaceship using Sketch Up.

1. We recall in the classroom the knowledge of scale by giving to the students some examples. 

2. We share with students a worksheet.

3. We ask students to tell us how many solid shapes a spaceship is made of.

3. We show students a video that shows a way of how to create a spaceship.

4. We help the students to create the spaceship.

Discussion

1.Is a 3D PRINTER capable to create more complex things and helps us in our effort to relocate to another planet?
