In this activity, students will learn the manufacturing process of casting and molding as well as 3D design.

Students use Tinkercad to design and create original coins, medallions, or other decorative items that depict the important features of a person, place, thing, or concept.

In this activity, students design and build electric toy Rovers that run on monorail tracks.

Cam toys (aka automata) use hand-powered mechanisms to create cyclical motions that animate a scene.

In this activity, students practice the Engineering Design Process on a challenge that is relevant to them, while learning 3D modeling on Tinkercad.

In this lesson, students will learn about fractions by creating cookie cutters in Tinkercad, 3D printing them, then using the cutters with Play-Doh or modeling clay to create and compare different fractional amounts.

In this activity, students use Tinkercad to design their own rulers with custom units and features.

Dig Into Mining – The Story of Copper is an interactive educational program for students grades 6-12 that uncovers the use of metals such as copper in our everyday life, and provides students a deeper understanding of today’s hard rock mining industry.

In this activity, students research the antimicrobial properties of copper.

In this activity, students investigate the impact of mining on the environment.

In this activity, students will participate in a hands-on lab to help them visualize and understand the process of extracting copper from ore.

In this activity students will plan and carry out an investigation to separate out several items that were mixed together back to their original pure substances.
