7th:(Due 11-28-16)
PROJECT: Create a Scale Model
You should build a model, draw a map, or create a blueprint of something you are interested in. Make a model of a building you think is cool. Create a diorama of a scene from a book or movie you enjoy. Make a map the neighborhood, or your walk to school. Create a blueprint of your bedroom. Use grid paper, legos, or whatever creative idea you choose. EXAMPLES ON MR. A’s BLOG.
You will need to determine and show the scale factor between the actual thing you model and the model you create and demonstrate an understanding through a written description of how you determined the size of objects or drawings in your model based on the actual thing you are modelling.
Please talk to Mr. A before Thursday if you do not understand any part of this project!
