Constructed Response Choices Choose one of the following prompts to answer. How does 3D printing have the potential to impact society and scientific innovation? Write 1-2 paragraphs in complete sentences, giving examples from the text or examples of ways you can infer that it will have an impact. Draw and label an infographic (a visual representation including both words and pictures) that shows the process of 3D printing, or additive manufacturing. Include written details from the text as captions or labels that accompany your drawing. You may either quote or paraphrase steps in the process from the text. Your drawing should be a neat and clear representation of 3D printing, but it is not going to be graded as a creative or artistic product. (It’s a sketch, so drawing is acceptable.) Answer Key Question Answer Standard Addressed 1. C RI7.1, RI7.4 2. A RI7.6 3. B L7.4 4. B RI7.5 5. D RI7.5 6. A RI7.8 7. C RI7.2 8. D RI7.2, RI7.5 9. A RI7.5 10. C RI7.4 Constructed Response Choices: (Answers will vary. The key consideration in grading is whether or not the student cites details from the text in addressing each prompt.) This response should be written in an informative/explanatory style, explaining how 3D printing will lead to innovation. (Addresses W7.2, W7.9) Details from the text that could be used to explain the impact of 3D printing on society and scientific innovation include: making manufacturing less wasteful of materials and energy/more efficient in the manufacturing process; shortening the time products take to get to market; inspiring creativity and individualized product creation through the Maker Movement; sparking interest among students in science, technology, engineering, and math careers; solving problems by creating lighter products or products that could not be created before; leading to experimentation and creation of products using other materials.
