150+ lessons with 3D now available at Nearpod
Our 3D models are integrated with Nearpod and you can use them in premade lessons and reduce your lesson creation time. With a community of more than 41.9k educators in 150 countries, Nearpod is one of the most used digital tools for teaching. As well as our 3D models that are available to all Neardpod users, it has in-person, hybrid and remote learning applications. Our models reached over 1 million views last year.
Online student engagement platform and scientifically verified 3D content – a combination that teachers love
Nearpod enables interactive lessons, gamified learning or formative assessment in addition to group assignments or individual student-paced learning options. And for all this, teachers can use our models and lesson plans. Ready-to-go lessons were created in cooperation with Michael Carter and are aligned with NGSS and Common Core. "There is a compelling need to address the current challenges in science education so that schools can produce young individuals not just with some level of knowledge, but also critical thinking and communication skills crucial to succeed in today’s fast-moving world. The NGSS are designed to do exactly that," describes Carter the approach he took to developing the lesson plans.
Each lesson is grounded in students taking ownership of their learning, centered around observing one or more 3D models
Engage, explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate with our 3D models
Individual lessons cover all phases of the 5E Model – engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. It helps students to understand a concept over time through a series of established steps. "These 5E, hand-on science lessons encourage students to think about science like they never have before. Activities encourage students to make connections to other science disciplines and real-life situations. Each lesson is grounded in students taking ownership of their learning, centered around observing one or more 3D models," says the Nearpod team.
