Friday, March 6

Folks, please do a General's job of working with Ms. Gotch, my substitute today.

At the bottom of this post is a copy of the handout you will use to guide your learning while watching some videos produced by Adam Savage, who you may recognize from Myth Busters.

Savage worked as a model maker on famous movies such as Star Wars, and is a famous "maker." Today's videos come from a Youtube Channel called Tested. All the videos below are on this playlist.

You will be viewing six segments of the playlist (1,2,4,5,6,7 of 9). For each segment there is a learning target or thinking activity provided below. You will turn this completed sheet in to the teacher at the end of the lesson for a grade so be thorough and write thoughtful and complete answers.

#1 Tour of Smithsonian Exhibit’s Fabrication Shop (10 min)

#2 The 3D Printing and Modelmaking Shop at Smithsonian Exhibits! (25 min)

#4 The Youngest Modelmaker at Smithsonian Exhibits (10 min)

#5 About Smithsonian Exhibits (12 min)

#6 How Smithsonian Uses Replicas to Tell Stories (7 min)
