OBJECTIVE:

• Students will watch an eight minute tutorial video defining the elements that are used to create the Google House (pictured above).

LEARNING TARGETS:

• GRADES 5-6: I can use basic tools in the Sketch Up application to orbit an image and pan a model.
• GRADES 7-8: I can use design tools to create a model.
• GRADES 9-12: I can use design tools to create a model and refine its characteristics.

ACTIVITIES:

1. Watch the YouTube video posted at the top of this page.
2. As the video plays try to duplicate the house as it is being built.
3. You may minimize the video or you may work with a split screen (“snapping”).
4. When your project is finished, save it to your Google Drive by selecting the Save button.

SUBMITTED WORK:

• This work will be submitted by:
  • Completing the Check Out Sheet (posted below) and having your project inspected by the instructor
  • Uploading a copy of the file to Google Classroom
