Using Reality Composer to Elevate Learning

My students transformed into virtual zookeepers, creating different 3D animals using Reality Composer. This project brought Math to life as students calculated the volume of their creations. By measuring their digital animals and applying volume formulas, they gained a hands-on understanding of geometric concepts. This interactive approach not only reinforced their knowledge but also sparked their creativity and problem-solving skills.

 

Students chose different ways to create their animals but were still able to find the volume in the end. Depending on the level of the students, we changed around some of the parameters. Some of the different extension ideas we used were:

Scale Your Animal: Have students create a scaled-down or scaled-up version of their animal and recalculate its volume.

Volume Challenge: Create a challenge where students must design an animal with a specific volume constraint.

Real-World Application: Have students research real-world examples of volume calculations, such as shipping costs or aquarium design.
