The 3D pens would be utilized in both a math and science classroom to being new light to topics that seem a little more abstract in the minds of 8th graders. For math, students will be able to draw a 3D image of a quadratic function and get a better idea about the different features of a quadratic function in real-world application. For instance, when I teach students what the roots are when the object hits the ground, if they used a 3D pen to trace the path of the object, they would see this for themselves. For science, students will be able to use the 3D pens to draw compounds as we study chemistry and chemical bonding. They would be able to see the different bonds between elements and how those bonds form. Students would also be able to create 3D models of pathogens as we study about bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Students could draw an example of a pathogen that causes a specific disease to get a better idea of what those pathogens look like.
