    The lesson introduces students to 3D printing boats using shapeshifter software. Students will learn that boats with wider bottoms are more stable than narrow boats. Working in pairs, students will design boats using the software to carry different loads, then print and test their boats. They will predict how much load their boat can hold and test it, concluding if it met their prediction and why or why not. The activity aims to help students understand boat design principles for stability and load capacity.

    Lesson Title: 3D Boats Unit: Buoyancy & Subject: Science

    Boats

    Teacher: C.Ngai Date: Jan.20-27 Grade Level: 2

    Learning Outcomes:
    General Learner Expectations
    2–7 Construct objects that will float on and move through water, and evaluate various designs for
    watercraft.
    Specific Learner Expectations
    SLE 3: Assemble materials so they will float, carry a load and be stable in water.
    SLE 4: Modify a watercraft to increase the load it will carry.
    SLE 5: Modify a watercraft to increase its stability in water

    Overview: Students design & create a watercraft using Strands:


    ICT (a 3D printing software) N/A

    Learning Objectives: Materials/Resources:


    Students will be able to… Laptops
    - discover that boats with wider bottoms are shapeshifter.io
    more stable than narrower ones. 3d Printer
    containers
    water
    3d boats
    Load: beads, erasers, paperclips

    Introduction: Explain the idea of 3D printing - show Youtube video

    Activity (Procedure)
    1. Review elements of a watercraft that make it stable & able to carry more load (wide base, high
    sides etc)
    2. Demonstrate how to use the website - shapeshifter
    3. highlight the parts they can change so that it would be useful (height, base size, thickness etc)
    4. Have the students try out the program in pairs and design a watercraft that can carry a load.
    5. save the design as a STL file and send it for printing.
    Next Block:
    students will test the boats that they designed.
    Choose a type of load for your boat to carry.
    - predict: How much of a load it can carry
    - test the boat
    - Conclusion: What did you discover? Could it carry as much as you thought it could? Did it
    carry more/ less than you predicted? Why?

    Wrap-up/Closure: debrief on what the students discovered: what kind of boat did you
    design? How will it be a suitable watercraft?
    Evidence of Learning (Assessment): Adaptations/Differentiated
    Participation & suggestions provided during activity Instruction:
    - Completion of activity & write up in science journal Simplification of instructions &
    questions, verbal/pictorial, gestural
    support
