Make your own 3D model
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can create my own 3D model and make suggestions on how it could be improved.
Key learning points
- Evaluating a design and gathering feedback can identify potential improvements.
- Feedback can be used to implement improvements and make modifications to a design.
Keywords
Construct - to build or make something
Evaluate - judge the quality of something and suggest improvements
Modify - make changes
Common misconception
Feedback is useful because people can tell you what you have done wrong and correct it for you.
Feedback is useful because people might raise your confidence by complimenting your hard work and they might be able to highlight improvements that you had not thought about.
Teacher tip
You will need to be familiar with using 3D objects as placeholders in 3D design software.
Equipment
Pupils will need access to a device with 3D design software. Examples in this lesson use Tinkercad https://oak.link/tinkercad

We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom. Plus, you can set it as homework or revision for pupils and keep their learning on track by sharing an online pupil version of this lesson.
