4th Grade: Forces and 3D Printing

Students dove into the engineering world this week as they had "Tug-Twist-Push-O-Wars where it was force vs. material. Students recorded data and judged the strengths. Later they were asked to design a charm to be used as a game piece. Students brainstormed and made drawings, then they sculpted a 3D model. They then were to use very precise measurements (the the nearest mm) in order to create a TinkerCAD file for 3D printing. The pieces will be printed when students arrive next week. Check out some footage of these projects below.
