I-Create Lab exploration

 Today as a class we explored the I-create lab as part of the TAMU-CC campus. My team partner and I decided to work with the 3-D printer and the CNC machine.  The machines: we will be working with are a 3D printer and a CNC machine. Plan: The is to use the 3D printer to create a trellis and labels for the plants. We are going to use resin as a material. Also, we plan to use a CNC machine to create a hands-on puzzle to make a flower/insect that aligns with the STAR Hero Journey/TEKS.  The idea : Students will discover how plants grow with support. The trellis will be created as a support for the plants similar to how education and new information are scaffolded. The students will then also create and design labels for each of their individual plants that they will be able to take home. In addition, the student will have a hands-on puzzle project (built using the CNC machine) to put together related to the TEK we have chosen and integrated within our STAR hero journey sto...

Maker Space- Working Lab

 Today in class we started working on gathering information for our next project. Maker Space.  Here is a TEK I am thinking about: Science Identifying plants based on their specific characteristics Exploring texture in the garden(properties of soils & abilities to support plant growth)   Science 5.9 A. Observe how organisms live and survive in their ecosystem by interacting with the living and non-living components.  And here are my resources.
