3D printers are creating a new dynamic within the learning environment of the classroom. Students are drawn to experiences. The ability to design and create a model promotes positive self-motivation in students and a sense of accomplishment. In my Biology classes, students have been exposed to a modeling program called TinkerCAD. They have created 3D projects. My students have created models of cells and organelles. With 3D printers, my students would be able to create manipulatives of these biological pieces. Then, they would be able to touch and assemble the printed materials to have a deeper understanding of the concept. My classes would be able to create and print models of meiosis to see the process in 3D. AP Biology students would be able to design and print choice chambers for observing insect behaviors. 3D printers would bring my student’s creations to life. With 3D modeling and 3D printers, students are able to create models and move away from a flat image on a screen or in a book to help them understand the learning objectives. They will learn how to manipulate objects in a 3D space utilizing modeling programs. After students have created their model, the 3D printer would produce the life-size object. Many students have a deeper understanding of concepts with tangible objects. In addition, my students will learn new skills along the way. As students are creating, they will investigate and learn about ratios for modeling the actual size of objects. This also allows for critical thinking and problem solving as students construct and print their models. While doing all of this, students will gain skills that will translate to later work or life experiences.
