Casa Grande 3D Model: Connecting the Past to the Present
This lesson plan has three main objectives. The first is that students will be able to recreate a map of the canal with 3D structures along the way. The largest structure being Casa Grande, or the great house. They will create the houses along the way using an 2D net that can be folded into a 3D shape. After building their structures, students will be able to define what a 2D versus a 3D shape is.
Finally, students will explain what a community is and why they are important for people in both the past and present. By comparing their own communities, students will be able to make a connection between themselves and indigenous communities of the past.

In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will examine the Gold King Mine spill on the Animas River in Colorado before creating a model watershed in order to develop an explanation of human
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
