My Project
My Doodle Magic project is a fun way for kids to let their imaginations run wild! Using 3D pens, kids can create their very own bubble wands and adorable 3D animals. This hands-on activity is perfect for exploring creativity and learning how to bring their 2D designs to 3D.
3Doodler pens will make it possible for students to bring their designs to real-life models.
Students will design and create their own bubble wands using 3D pens. The lesson begins with learning about the science behind bubbles, including the properties of liquids and gases, and how surface tension allows bubbles to form. Students will then sketch their bubble wand designs to optimize bubble creation. Once their designs are finalized, students will use 3D pens to bring their sketches to life, crafting unique and colorful bubble wands. After completing their wands, students will test them by creating bubbles and observing the results.
In another lesson, students will explore various animal traits and how these traits help animals survive in their environments. The students will learn about different animal characteristics, such as camouflage, body structure, and behavioral adaptations. Students will then be given various animal traits and will have to create a new animal with their traits. Once complete, students will use the 3D pens to create their new animals. This hands-on activity not only reinforces their understanding of animal adaptations but also encourages creativity and problem-solving.
These are just a couple of ideas for the use of the 3D pens. There are endless possibilities.
