# Human Body

Subject Area: Science

Learning Objectives: Students will learn about the anatomy of a human skeleton. \
 \
Materials Needed: One computer, one Micro or Micro+ 3D printer, and one 250ft 3D Ink filament spool (PLA or ABS-R3 recommended) per 2-5 students. 

Brief Description: Students will print and assemble a human skeleton to learn about its anatomy. 

To Prepare: Students will need a computer that has the M3D software on it. We recommend one printer per every 2-5 students. The Micro or Micro+ 3D printer will need to be plugged into both the wall and the computer. Each printer will need to have a 250ft spool feeding into the external port. A spool holder is also recommended. 

If you need assistance with any of the above please see our guides at support.printm3d.com. 

Lesson Plan: 

1\. Students will go online to <https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1543880> and download the 16 models.&#x20;

2\. Upload the models to M3D software, and print them. Some of the models will need to be printed with supports, such as the upper torso. If you printed a model with supports, you will need to remove the support material from the print when it has finished printing.&#x20;

3\. Once all the models have finished printing, students can assemble their skeleton models.&#x20;

4\. After the skeletons are assembled, students should use them to identify the bones in the human body.&#x20;
