The  influence of 3D-printing on the life of a modern society

This lesson is for pupils of senior classes with a language level of A2-B2 and focuses on discussing the influence of 3D-printing on the life of modern society.

Introduction: In this lesson pupils will learn and revise some science terminology – vocabulary connected with  3D-printing in various spheres of life through pair-work and group discussions. They will express their opinion on positive and negative impact of 3D-printing on humanity and present their reports or articles, they will interview the participant of the Science Festival -2017 in Moscow and role-play the dialogues.

Topic: The  influence of 3D-printing on the life of a modern society

Age group: 15-17

Aims: 

• to popularize scientific achievements on the English lessons;
• to motivate pupils to take part in the discussion and express their opinion on positive and negative impact of 3D-printing;
• to encourage students to  participate in pair and group work;
• to practise asking and answering questions of different types;
• to define if 3D-printers should be available for general public

Time: 60 minutes

Procedure

Before the lesson

Pupils had a hometask  to find an information about 3D - printing, as a result they have some articles, photos on the topic

1.Beginning of the lesson. Defining the theme and aims of the lesson      (5 minutes)

Teacher’s Speech about the importance of studying scientific achievements

Teacher asks to name words related to 3D and define the topic of the lesson.

 Pupils  name: 3D-printing, 3D-films, 3D-pen,etc.

Pupils  make suggestions about  the theme of the lesson

The  influence of 3D-printing on the life of a modern society

 Pupils  say what they will be able to do at the lesson:

-to watch video;

-ask and answer questions;

-make dialogues;

-work in groups

-to make solutions

-to speak about advantages and disadvantages of  3D-printing, etc.

2.  Main part

1. Teacher asks to watch video  about 3D-printing  and prepare some questions.

Pupils watch video about 3D-printing https://youtu.be/Vx0Z6LplaMU    and propose questions:

-What is 3D-printing? - What can be printed?

- How  does it work? -What to use to create your first 3d print?

-Where can 3D-printing be used?

2. Teacher asks to work in pairs and answer the questions.   Pair work (10 minutes)

3. Group work                           (15 minutes)

Teacher devides pupils into 3 groups and gives them articles for discussing the advantages of  3D-printing in human life. Before discussion they watch video This incredibly cheap house was 3D printed in just 24 hours 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=36&v=xktwDfasPGQ

Pupils express their opinion in groups.

4. Teacher shows  video Working gun made with 3D printer         (10 minutes)

www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22421185

and asks to discuss negative issues of 3D-printing on human life. Pupils prove their statements reading the information from the article.

5. Interview with a teacher of physics                  (10 minutes)

Teacher proposes to the pupils to interview a guest, a teacher of physics, who visited the Science Festival -2017 in Moscow.

 Some pupils ask questions in Russian, others translate the information in English.

6. Role-play                 (5 minutes)

 Teacher asks pupils to role-play the dialogue with  a participant of the Science Festival.

7. Conclusion                    (5 minutes)

Teacher asks pupils to answer the question :

Should 3D-printers be available for general public?

Groups work on solutions:

-3D-printers should be used safely for people;

-3D-printing of guns should be banned;

-3D-printing in medicine should be developed to help people and animals with problems

8. Teacher asks one of  the pupils to tell about his experience of writing with a 3d -pen in Artek and his feelings on new technology

9. Reflection

Teacher asks pupils if they like the lesson, if they have known a new information, what other scientific themes they would like to discuss.
