Items with Lesson Plans

Great Pyramid of Giza
What we know about Egypt's ancient civilization comes from what was left behind. Archaeologists scour the region for remnants to piece together pictures of the past, but some clues are hard to miss: at six and a half million ton, taller than the Statue of Liberty, and as wide as 10 football fields, the Great Pyramid of Giza can be seen from space.
Frog Dissection Kit
The MakerBot Frog Dissection Kit is the first 3D printable curriculum unit for teachers and their students to download and 3D print in the classroom. This Frog Dissection Kit includes a lesson plan for teachers, digital files to 3D print a large, life-size frog body, and six 3D printed organs that fit together like puzzle pieces.
Supreme Court Building
Responsible for interpreting and enforcing constitutional law, the Judicial Branch and nine current Supreme Court justices work in this beautiful building designed by legendary
architect Cass Gilbert. Feel the weight of power in your hands as you discuss the court's landmark decisions.
Leif Erikson's Drakkar Ship
Travel back to the early 1000’s and jump aboard The Drakkar with Captain Leif Erikson. Believed to be the first European to set foot on the shores of North America, Erikson sailed this type of wooden longship often found with an animal or dragon head carved into its prow.
T-Rex Skull
The T-Rex Skull from MakerBot Academy comes complete with a lesson plan that explores characteristics of the most-studied dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus Rex. With this 3D printable model, students will understand what can be learned from fossils and in doing so, acknowledge the difference between scientific facts and theories.
