CURRICULUM APPLICATION

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL PLAN

Instructional Material: DYI Ferris Wheel
Brief Description Ferris wheels can be used as instructional material in various contexts, including Physics,
Engineering, Mathematics and TLE. Ferris wheels are visually appealing and can capture
students' attention, making it easier to motivate them to learn.
Purpose: Using Ferris wheels as instructional material can make learning more engaging and
meaningful for students, while also helping them understand important scientific and
mathematics concepts.
Topic: Cookery
Subject: TLE
Materials: Cardboard
Scissors
Ruler
Pens
Compass (Optional)
Stapler & Tape
Skewer Sticks
PROCEDURE
1. Find cardboard materials to create your project. Create a circular outline on the cardboard by using a compass or a plate to
trace around. This should be approximately 23 cm diameter.
2. Get scissors to cut out the circle. Trace and cut another circle. You should have two.
3. Draw a rectangle with parallel lines on the opposite sides. As appears in the first picture below. Draw two diagonal lines to
find the center point. Do this for the 2nd circle too.
4. Draw a slightly smaller circle on the cutout by using a smaller plate or compass. Use a small jar to draw a smaller circle on
the cut out.
5. Draw a vertical line and a horizontal line as appear in the middle photo above. Measure and mark 1 centimeter to the left and
the right of the line. Mark this on the bottom as well. Use the ruler to join the mark. Do this to the other spoke line as well.

6. Repeat this step for the 2nd circle cut out as well. You should have 2 circles cut out with markings.
7. Measure the distance between the spokes like in the above-right picture. Divide it by 2 and make a mark. Do the same to the
other 3 sides. Draw in the diagonal lines.
8. Measure and mark 1 centimeter to the left and right of the lines to draw 8 spokes on each wheel.
9. Cut in from the outside. Cut out the shaded areas. Be Careful not to crease the cardboard too much. Do this for both wheels.
10. Tape and staple the open cut.
11. Get another piece of cardboard. Measure 4cm, 4cm, 4cm, 4cm, 2cm up and 5 cm wide.
12. Repeat the steps to make 4 pieces. Cut along the top. Fold along the marked line and staple the ends together to create the
cabins.
13. Repeat the steps to make 4 cabins. Get a sharp pen to poke a hole on the top flaps.
14. Get another piece of cardboard. Mark along with the distance of 2cm, 5cm and 2cm. Mark the width of 2.5cm. Repeat to
create 4 pieces and cut it out.
15. Fold the strip and staple it to the wheel. Staple the 4 pieces at the middle of the 2 spokes. Do this on the back of the wheel.
16. Staple the other sides to the second wheel. You should have the two circle pieces attached together securely.
17. Use a pointy pen to make a hole into the cabin and also the wheel along the spokes. Find a stick (skewers, cotton swab,
wooden chopstick) cut it to length with a scissors. Insert through the holes of the cabin and the wheel. Repeat the step for the
4 cabins.
18. Measure and cut a piece of cardboard to the size of approximately 15cm x 25cm. Fold it at 3cm, 9cm, 3cm, 9cm and 1cm to
make a rectangular prism shape. Staple the 2-4 staples to secure it together.
19. Measure 2 pieces of cardboard at 9cm x 21cm. Measure the length at the top at 3cm and 6cm and mark the location. Mark a
straight line connecting the bottom corner to the points marked. Do the same on the other corner. Cut along these 2 straight
lines. Attached both pieces to the base by stapling on the left and right side.
20. Get a sharp pen and puncture the holes at the top to attach the wheel middle stick. The DIY Ferris Wheel is done.
