3D Print a Hill Models

thingiverse

These hill models should help pupils better to understand topographic maps. Exercises for using these models in geography or science lessons are available here* or in Kristjan Rea master's thesis “Applying virtual 3D-models and physical 3D-models created by a 3D-printer for learning about the topic “Landforms and Groups of Landforms” in basic schools”. Link for the master's thesis: https://goo.gl/3Aq2gR NB! It is recommended that pupils themselves participate in the process of making the these models. Need küngaste mudelid peaksid aitama õpilastel paremini mõista topograafilisi kaarte. Ülesande, kuidas mudeleid geograafia või loodusõpetuse tundides rakendada leiate Kristjan Rea magistritööst “Virtuaalsete 3D-mudelite ja 3D-printeriga loodud füüsiliste mudelite rakendamine „Pinnavormide ja pinnamoe“ teema õppimiseks põhikoolis”. Veebilink magistritööle: https://goo.gl/3Aq2gR NB! Võimalusel võiksid õpilased osaleda ka mudelite valmistamisprotessis (modelleerimises jne). How I Designed This Step1 In Adobe Illustrator CS6 the top view of the landscape model (incl. contour lines) was made. Adobe Illustrator CS6'ga joonistati maastikumudeli ülaltvaade (sh horisontaalid). Step 2 Illustrator file was modelled in Blender 2.76 and then converted into STL file. Illustratoris loodud faili modelleeriti Blender 2.76's ning valmis mudel konverteeriti STL vormingusse. Step 3 After printing the model paths (green), river (blue) and exercise points (black) were drawn by marker. Pärast mudeli printimist joonistati sellele markeriga rajad (roheline), jõgi (sinine) ja ülesande punktid (mustad). *How to use these models in classroom Exercise for the hill models Inspect contour maps (available in Kristjan Rea master's thesis) and match them with correct hill models. Write the correct letter inside the box below the contour map.
