Scale Model (Due Monday, October 22)**

 This is the graded portion of the project

 You need a template of your design with all inch measurements included on the template.
(Use a scale factor of 1 inch = l foot)
 40 points – all individual pieces are drawn, labeled, and have measures in inches
 10 points attention to detail (i.e. use of ruler for all lines, numbers and units clearly
labeled on corresponding parts)
 Build an actual model that accurately represents your template.
 40 points for mathematical accuracy from template to model
 10 points attention to detail (i.e. well defined model with clear folds and neat
appearance)
 Size requirement -- your boat must fit 2 people, it cannot exceed 8 feet in length and cannot
be wider than 4 feet.
 It would be a good idea to look at the “Design Rubric” that the class is using to judge your boat
Voting and Team Assignments (Monday, October 22)**
 The class will narrow boat choices down to 5 boats
 You will be placed on a boat team and use the design rubric to vote on a boat that your team
will build.
 As a team you will determine a captain or co-captains. The captain/co-captains should assign
the individual boat sections that need to be drawn and cut to small teams of 2 or 3.
Building** (Starting Date Tuesday, October 23. End Date Thursday, October 25)
 You will have 3 class days to build, tape, and spray your boats.
 My suggestion for time management is the following:
 Day 1 -- draw out patterns on cardboard start having cuts made
 Day 2 – finish cuts and start assembly of individual pieces
 Day 3 -- finish assembly and spray
 If your team gets behind you will have the following times to work on your boats before and
after school.
 Tuesday, October 23, Afternoon Session 4:15-5:15
 Wednesday, October 24, Morning Session 8:00-8:45
 Thursday, October 25, Afternoon Session 4:15-5:15
 Friday, October 26, Afternoon Session 4:15-5:15 (Touch ups only!)
