Paint 3D is a wonderful new tool that comes installed with the Windows10 creators update. It has all the simplicity of the original Paint but enablesyou to easily create in 3D. You can draw, colour, and stamp stickers in 3D. Youcan texture your 3D object and turn it from wood to marble. You can even changea 2D doodle into a 3D object easily and simply.
This simple and powerful tool is a great addition to the Science
classroom, allowing both teachers and students to bring science to life in their
classrooms and make some tricky new ideas and concepts far more approachablefor learners.
Let’s take the water cycle, for example. This
is commonly drawn out and labelled as a 2D image but in reality it is far from
a flat diagram. By allowing our students to create their own 3D models of this
scientific process, they can explore and understand it to a far higher level.
Imagine your students creating cross sections of volcanoes, diagrams of
flowering plants or even a human eyeball! Paint 3D isn’t just for students to create their own models, however.
Teachers can bring their own models right into the classroom for their students
to explore. By selecting the Mixed Reality, models can be brought right into
their classrooms. Take an animal cell – this complex structure can be put into
the hands of your students to turn, zoom and explore. You can even embed them
into your PowerPoint presentations!
Concerned that you don’t have the time to create the models yourself?
Just select Remix 3D. This is a space packed full of models that the Remixcommunity have shared. Just select the model that you would like to use andimport it into Paint 3D. Now you can edit it, add to it, or use it just as it
is!
