chemistry and biology kit

thingiverse

This is an educational kit that contains sixteen items, which allows students to learn chemistry and biology through hands-on experimentation. The kit's design enables a fun and interactive approach to studying nature. The kit includes: Two containers for holding chemicals A funnel A sample holder Two test tubes A flat bottom surface A beaker An Erlenmeyer flask A petri dish A model of a cell A plant cell model A virus model A bacterium model A clamp A small spatula A microscope for iPhone 5c A model of an antibody To print the test tube, flat bottom surface, beaker, Erlenmeyer flask, and petri dish, transparent filament should be used. If you don't have transparent filament, it can be purchased on Amazon. After printing, students can download a file called "Document 1" to view the interior of a cell. The designer of this kit created each item using Cinema 4D software, despite having little experience with the program. The process taught them how to use Cinema 4D effectively. Some pictures of the designs made in Cinema 4D are included below: A picture showing all the designs made by the designer A picture of a screw cap that was challenging to create A picture of a complicated design that took a lot of time to make Before designing on the computer, the designer made sketches The models created for this project include microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, animal cells, and plant cells. These models allow students to visualize complex concepts more easily. The models are divided into two parts, making it possible to view the interior of each microorganism. Pictures of the interior of each microorganism have been inserted inside the model. This project is suitable for anyone who is new to 3D modeling and wants to learn Cinema 4D. Students should have access to computers with Cinema 4D installed and a reliable internet connection. The professor explains how to use Cinema 4D, and students work in groups to design their scientific tools. The instructor helps answer questions about Cinema 4D and advises students on avoiding design features that might cause printing difficulties. Students choose one or two scientific tools to model, such as the microscope for iPhone, petri dish, clamp, and container. They then search for images of these tools online, making sure they are clear and suitable for modeling. Step-by-step guide: Step 1: Students choose a tool to model Step 2: Students find an image of the tool online Step 3: Students draw the tool on paper before creating it in Cinema 4D Step 4: Students create the tool in Cinema 4D, simplifying it if necessary Step 5: Students print their tools, checking that they are in the correct scale Step 6: Students go on a nature walk and collect plants or materials to observe with their microscope Step 7: Students research the plant they found and create a presentation about it The results of this project include: Records of any notes or research done before the project Initial sketches of scientific tools Final sketches of scientific tools Notes on improvements or iterations in design 3D printed scientific tools Students learned to follow a protocol for producing 3D objects and gained experience with other scientific tools.
