DESCRIPTION:
Her experience as a systems engineer has spanned software development, spacecraft flight operations, risk management, and spacecraft/ground system test and contingency planning.As an educator, Joan’s passion is bringing science and technology to the non-specialist in a comprehensible and entertaining way that will stay with the learner for a lifetime. .

This book describes how to create 3D printable models that can help students from kindergarten through grad school learn math, physics, botany, chemistry, engineering and more. Students can start with these models and vary them for their own explorations. You will add another dimension to your textbook understanding of science.In this book, you will learn: To create (and present the science behind) 3D printed models.To use a 3D printer to create those models as simply as possible.New science insights from designing 3D models. Who this book is for:This book shows parents and teachers how to use the models inside as starting points for 3D printable explorations. Each of the eight topics is designed to be customized by the reader to create a wide range of projects suitable for science fairs, extra credit, or classroom demonstrations. Unlike other sets of models that can just be scaled, these models have the science built-in to allow for more insight into the fundamental concepts.. Science fair project suggestions and extensive "where to learn more" resources are included, too

About the Author As an engineer and management consultant, Joan Horvath has coordinated first-of-a-kind interdisciplinary technical and business projects, helping people with no common vocabulary (startups, universities, small towns, etc)
If you own a 3D printer, then you should have this book. I highly recommend it! If you own a 3D printer, then you should have this book. I highly recommend it!3D Printed Science Projects addresses the “We Bought It, Now What?” problem of 3D printers. Each chapter starts with a science or math concept and then provides a model for you to print. So, in the chapter about Gravity, the science about the orbit of Haley’s Comet around the Sun is discussed. Then they give you the actual software code to make an orbit model. Pretty cool.The authors use the free software openSCAD. Don’t be afraid. I was, but the online documentation for openSCAD turns out to be good. After spending not . Anon E-mouse said Not just the usual Not just the usual 3D paper clip, but a great teaching tool My initial reaction was to give this book a 10 star rating. So why 5 stars. Well that is the limit with Amazon.But that was my initial reaction. It still deserves 5 Amazon stars for the material it tries to present. It is not just the usual nonsense of the paper clip or the coaster, or some silly rabbit (BTW rabbits are not silly, the 3d version is), but some realy interesting stuff.

As a teacher of blind and visually impaired students, I use 3D printing as a way to present important concepts to my students. The models presented in this book are very helpful to me! I particularly enjoy the chapter and related models on ice crystals. My students are able to get a sense of the orientation of water molecules, not to another, in different types of ice crystals. Given that good lesson planning incorporates methods that work for all students, books of this type will illustrate concepts and provide understanding for many others, not just blind students. This book is an excellent source for teachers!
