Create-a-Creature

Instructional Objectives: This project prompts students to design and print a 3D creature model for creative writing and science. Students can apply what they have learned about animal characteristics and adaptation to create a new creature or give a current create magical powers. Create a 3D model of a creature (new or existing) using Tinkercad and/or Thingiverse for animal shapes and introduce your creature, sharing its physical adaptations, daily habits, behavioral adaptations, predators, and prey.

Detailed Directions: Include your creature’s name, height, weight, appearance (color, skin, scales, tail, wings, fur, texture, etc.), current age and the life expectancy, diet (herbivore/omnivore, main prey, etc.), special powers, distinctive features, where he/she/it was born (location, state, country), the environment/habit it prefers (land, air, sea, combination), any predators, and lifestyle (solitary or social). Use lots of adjectives, with vivid language, and descriptive imagery
