Empower your students to design, collaborate, and create amazing things you never thought possible with MakerBot in the Classroom: An Introduction to 3D Printing and Design. Packed with resources, MakerBot in the Classroom gives you the basics of 3D printing and design as well as ideas, projects, and activities for integrating 3D printers in your curriculum.

Compiled by MakerBot Education

The MakerBot SKETCH is a classroom-friendly 3D printer designed to bring ideas to life through hands-on modeling, engineering, and iteration. With an intuitive interface, enclosed print chamber, and compatibility with cloud-based software (MakerBot CloudPrint), SKETCH allows students to design and fabricate real prototypes safely and reliably. Its manageable size and quiet operation make it ideal for classroom use, from daily STEM activities to long-term engineering projects.

MakeyMakey is a small circuit board that is connected to a computer via USB cable. The computer thinks that the circuit board is the actual keyboard! With alligator clips, students can attach various conductive objects to the circuit boards to design their own keyboards!

Normally, computer games and musical instruments are played using the standard keyboard. But with their very own MakeyMakey keyboards, just imagine the possibilities for students to design computer game controllers or musical instruments! MakeyMakeys have long been a student favorite for experiencing the engineering design process, learning about conductive and insulating materials, and as an introduction to circuitry.

This 24-piece set of professionally prepared mineral thin section slides brings the world of geology into sharp focus for middle school students. Viewed under a standard light microscope, each slide reveals crystal structures, cleavage patterns, grain boundaries, and optical properties—offering a rich, hands-on experience with the composition and formation of Earth’s materials.

The mini version of the Straw Rocket Launcher! Launch lightweight “rockets” made from drinking straws while investigating Newton’s laws, aerodynamics, and iterative design. The Pitsco Straw Rocket Launcher lets students rapidly prototype, test, and refine their own rockets by adjusting fin shape, mass, and launch angle—turning the classroom into a low-cost wind-tunnel and ballistics lab.

Comes with the Straw Rockets Getting Started Classroom Package, including precision straws, index cards, and clay.

From the publisher:

Concise field guide to stars and constellations presented in a month-by-month selection of stars charts.

Includes a companion set of twelve large-format, laminated star charts, one for each month, with information about constellations, the galaxy, and other celestial objects.

The Ozobot Bit is the 1st generation robot from Ozobot. Ozobots are a great way to engage students and bring robotics and coding into the classroom. Ozobot robots are codable two ways, 1) “screen free” using colored markers to draw commands on paper (washable markers or Sharpies work well) or 2) program using Ozoblockly coding app (similar to Code Studio or Scratch). Ozobots are great tools for integrating math and science content, and even art, social studies, and ELA! The Ozobot Bit Classroom kit includes 18 robots and 18 sets of colored markers and code sheets to support up to 25-30 students. Check out the Ozobot online community for ideas and lessons to engage your students! iPads with Ozobot apps are available upon request for implementation with Ozoblockly coding.

The 550 Universal Interface has two sensor ports plus an analog control interface with built-in temperature and voltage sensors with probes and USB or Bluetooth connection. Can be used with iPads, laptops, Chromebooks or Android tablets. Recommended for use with the Pasco Newton’s Laws kit.

Measure the concentration of carbon dioxide for experiments in respiration, photosynthesis, chemical reactions, air quality and more. Great for use alone or with other sensors via the Pasco EcoZone System!

Bring to life the Doppler Effect concept with a simple and fun Doppler Rocket activity. Students will hear the change in pitch as the Doppler Rocket approaches them.

The EcoZone System was designed to help students understand the interactions within different ecosystems. The three clear acrylic Eco Chambers are rugged and easy to set up and clean and they are designed to accommodate Pasco sensors to allow quantitative measurement of a wide range of real-time environmental parameters.
