Conclusion

You have impressed me beyond belief year 3. Well done on the student process page. You are now ready to use what you know about shapes and measurement to design your very own Ford Mustang. Remember to look at the table above as this is how you will be marked.

Your job is to use certain sized three-dimensional (3D) shapes to create a model car. Designers often need the help of others to create their cars so find one (1) other expert designer in your class to help you. There only needs to be one (1) car made between each pair. Look at one your teacher deigned below.

Yours does not have to be the same as the one above, it is just to give you an idea of what to do. The document below has many nets of shapes in it. Some nets are big and some are small. It is up to you to select the shapes you want and print them on your choice of coloured paper or you can just collect them from your teacher. Your teacher will have nets printed on A3 pieces of paper, making them much bigger. Measure the nets to make sure they will be the size you want. Make the nets into their three-dimensional (3D) shapes. Glue the three-dimensional (3D) shapes into the form of a car. Colour your car or put stickers on it to make it look really great!

 

Write down the  length, width and height of your nets in your book.

Use your iPads to film yourself explaining the car and why you used the shapes you chose. Make sure you explain what shapes were used and their faces, edges and vertices. Tell us the height and length of your car in cm and mm. Tell us the measurements from your nets

Look at the example from the engineer below.

Discuss with your teacher what the engineer forgot to explain.

*Please email your video to your teacher with your name on it*

You have now finished this learning path. Great job! Thank you very much for helping us design the next model of Mustang, we couldn't have done it without you.
