The goal of this activity was to make a perfect cube out of cardboard. It was important to understand properties of cardboard, when cutting and putting the parts together to make the cube. Communication This was a two people group activity and communication within the team was very important. There were 6 parts to make, some of them are same shape, and some are different. Because there are different shaped parts, we needed to communicate clearly to let my part know which part I am making. Problem Solving This activity was to follow instructions and learn about property of cardboard. The cardboard we used is made up of three layers. Two outer layers and a layer inside. Difficult part was to cut only two layer and leave one outer layer attached to the part. After careful cutting, we were able to figure out how much force to use when cutting to jus cut two layers. Team Work Out team had good team work. I've worked with one of my best friends in this activity, and this was a big help for team work. Self and Team Evaluation We got the perfect cube made. We were the last team to finish. It was primarily due to lack of number of glues available. There were more team than number of glues, and we didn't get glue until the last minute of class period. Other than this, our team did good job in making the perfect cube. Knowledge About Rapid Prototyping Technologies There was no rapid prototyping technology needed in this activity. This activity was prepared to inform us about the property of cardboard so we can work on the next exercise, Garfield. |
