3D Explorer — interactive 3D models for the classroom whiteboard

Interactive 3D models for the whiteboard

Eighty-one models the class can spin, zoom and pull apart on the big screen — a beating heart, a human skeleton, the solar system, a T-Rex, a Roman artefact. Pick one, put it full-screen, and let the children direct where it turns.

What’s in there

Human Body — heart, lungs, brain, skeleton, skull, DNA, animal cell. Space — the planets and the solar system. Prehistory — dinosaurs and a woolly mammoth. Plus Science, Animals, History and Geography. Every model is labelled with a key stage, so you can see at a glance whether it fits your class.

Questions

What 3D models are included?

81 models across seven groups — Human Body, Science, Animals, History, Space, Prehistory and Geography — including the heart, skeleton, lungs, brain, DNA, the solar system, dinosaurs and historical artefacts.

Do I need to install anything?

No — it all runs in the browser, so it works on a school whiteboard, a laptop or a tablet with nothing to download.

Can the children move the models themselves?

Yes — every model spins, zooms and can be seen from any angle, from the front of the class or by a child on a device.

Is 3D Explorer free?

Yes — completely. It uses no tokens at all. Sign in with a free Sage Teachers account and every model is open.
