The 7th grade class worked hard over a few weeks to complete 3D models of a room in their houses. The project included many steps as students had to measure their chosen rooms and certain objects in the room. Next, students chose a scale factor that would work for their room and used proportions to convert each actual measurement into the dimensions they would use for their model.
In school, the 7th graders brought in materials like cardboard, clay and Legos to build their 3D models. It was great to see students problem solving through the steps of building a model and helping each other when it got difficult! As projects were wrapping up, students were adding pictures or accessories to make their projects more realistic. Creativity and hard work were on full display as the 7th grade completed some amazing 3D scale models!
What the 7th graders learned:
How to carefully and accurately build a model
Some projects are fun!
How to measure and use tools to construct a model
Work hard and pay attention to what you are doing
Use your time wisely
How to use proportions
What 7th graders enjoyed:
Making all of the tiny objects
Adding in all the details and painting the project
Taking all the measurements at home
The model starting to look more like my real room
All of it because it was fun!
