Research background: http://www.animaloandp.com http://www.animalorthocare.com/products/prosthetics/ http://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/special-subjects/limb-prosthetics/prosthetic-parts

Activity: Teacher must 3d print animals for the students to use by using this website: http://www.thingiverse.com/search/page:3?q=animals&sa= . Then students must use their computers to design a prosthesis for the animal using this website: https://www.tinkercad.com . Prosthesis must be able to attach and detach from the model. Use this website examples: http://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/special-subjects/limb-prosthetics/prosthetic-parts to help students design limb. Students must be able to identify the parts of the prosthetic limb.

Assessment: Using the parts the students identified in the activity regarding the prosthetic limb, they will study for the following test: https://quizlet.com/_2jjni7 Turn this test into test form by pressing the test option on the options towards the top of the screen.

Closing activity: Instruct students to, as a class, locate an animal in need of a prosthetic limb or a cast and tell them about their ideas and about 3d printing.

Have Fun!
