ASU's Monster Manual: Tinkercad Edition
This lesson expands upon ASU's Ask a Biologist "Monster Manual" Activity to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Students learn about DNA and how we inherit traits through an analogy of decoding a monster's "DNA." Once students have discovered what their monster looks like through ASU's "Monster Maker" game, they then receive a tutorial on how to use Tinkercad so that they can create virtual 3D models of their monsters. This lesson would function well in both online and in-person learning formats.

This lesson is a follow up of lesson 1 of 2. Students will extend the focus of their cause by creating a logo and swag to be presented at an "EXPO" held at your school.
This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course
By the end of this lesson, students will understand the unique adaptations of desert tortoises and the importance of conserving their habitat. Students also engineer a habitat for the desert tortoise.
