Tessellations and Tinkercad

Image
     This is a link to a video tutorial on using Tinkercad to design tessellations.  Once you've designed your tessellation you can export the file for 3D printing. http://mdirsstutorials.blogspot.com/2017/11/design-and-3d-print-tessellations-with.html       This looks like a very interesting website with several posts on Tinkercad, tessellations, and 3D printing.  Here is the link to the site home page:   http://mdirsstutorials.blogspot.com/

Power Point From Hummingbird Workshop

I've posted a PDF of the Hummingbird Workshop Power Point here: Hummingbird Workshop The Power Point has a number of links to helpful documents and tutorials on the Hummingbird workshop as well as some ideas for using the boards for SOL activities and lessons.

TeacherGeek STEM Check: A quick guide for real STEM activities

Image
      TeacherGeek is an online site for Makerspace/STEMLab materials, components, activities, and ideas.  I'll be doing a post just about this site in the next week or so, but they also provide an excellent guide for determining if your STEM activity is really STEM, allowing for a lot of student creation and innovation, or an activity that simply has students following a set of instructions.  The guide is available on their website under the Documents and Videos tab, but I've provided a link to the PDF here as well:   TeacherGeek STEM Check

Graphical Analysis Software for Vernier Sensors

Image
     Vernier has a free software download named Graphical Analysis that does the curve fitting that Logger Pro does, but Logger Lite doesn’t.      The options are listed in the attached screenshot:  Proportional, Linear, Quadratic, Power, Inverse, Inverse Squared, Natural Exponent, Natural Log.
