This lesson plan template outlines a science unit on accurate measurement and the metric system. Students will learn key vocabulary and concepts related to measurement through a 3D animation video and articles. They will apply their understanding by creating 3D models and projects using Blender software and a 3D printer. Formative assessments include checks for understanding and student summaries. The lesson aims to teach Pennsylvania 8th grade science standards on measurement through hands-on activities using technology.

Essential Question How do we apply knowledge of accurate measuring skills to solve
What are the MOST important scientific problems? concepts or skills? Include key questions (if necessary). Activating Thinking Blender Video Strategies What can we use 3D for in our world? How will you activate students 3D Articles for review thinking to introduce the key concepts? How will you link to prior knowledge? Vocabulary Accuracy, Area, Celsius, Density, Dimensional Analysis, Factor Label What key vocabulary must students Method, Fahrenheit, Graduate Cylinder, Irregular Solids, Kelvin, Mass, master? How will you introduce this Meniscus, Percent Error, Precision, SI System or International System of to students?
