Amy Oliver is working with Elementary teachers on a strategy to expand students' scientific writing skills by modeling scientific ideas. Here teachers are drawing the science that happens on a slide.

I've spent some time this week on the Eris 3D printer that we received as part of our Classroom Maker Kit from REMC. I'm a pro at setting it up on various computers, loading and unloading filament, but still have a ways to go in successfully printing. I ventured onto Thingiverse to find something to print and learned that not everything on that site is printable :) After trying to print 3 different horses, I learned how to add a 'raft' to objects that might be difficult to print (e.g. legs may print better if they are connected to raft) and I learned how/why to adjust the temperature so the filament comes out nicely. I'm printing my first 'long' print job (over 3 hours) and my next major step is to create something on my own to print. Stay tuned :) What stories do you have about printing??
