Exploring Matter through 3D Printing with MakerBot
by Tiffany Abney
Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer.
Hands-On STEM Design Challenge: The lesson includes a practical, hands-on design challenge where students collaborate in teams to solve a specific problem or address a challenge using their understanding of "P1: Matter."
