7th: 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.
You will need to determine the scale factor between the actual thing you model and the model you create and demonstrate an understanding on how to determine the size of objects or drawings in your model based on the actual size.
