Year 5
Teaching Idea 1: Google Sketch Up
Google Sketch up is free downloadable 3D drawing software. The program can be downloaded from http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107 . This, design, make and evaluate project has been designed using higher order thinking skills in order to provide a range of different activities to me meet the needs of students. Google Sketch Up has also been listed as a teaching idea for Year 6 in order for students to develop and build upon their skills in the following year of schooling.
Teacher task: Establish an online blog, weebly, moodle etc in order for students to work collaboratively. Through the use of online communication students will be able to post progress, ask questions and offer suggestions to peers in relation to their design task. Follow this LINK for an example.

Student tasks:
1. Explore Google Sketch Up
Investigate what the tools are and how they can be used. List each of the tools and write a suggestion about how each could be used in a design process.
2. Choose a design topic
Students may choose from the ones listed below or teachers may create their own. Please note, I have selected a range of topics based on Bloom's Higher Order Thinking Skills.
Remembering:
Use the tools in Google Sketch Up to design house.
Understanding/Applying:
Use the tools in Google Sketch up to create a replica of your room, house or classroom.
Analysing/Evaluating:
Use the tools in Google Sketch Up to create a replica of your school's play ground, chapel or building.
Creating:
Use the tools in Google Sketch Up to reconstruct a new and improved school playground, chapel or building.
3. Students use a blog to communicate with peers, post video tutorials and ask questions.
4. Students present and evaluate their Sketch Up design
