Holding things up...

Today we did paper models to hold things up. 
Like a water bottle.
I failed so badly. It was fun though. I knew I wasn't good at this but I still tried.
This was the first time working alone with this matter, I find it a lot harder, especially using paper only. Lucky enough I have time to finish off making the structure. 


Opps.

I think I underestimated the weight of the water bottle... It held ANOTHER water bottle though! It needs a bigger base and a stronger structure. 

 Here is what I made out of 4 cardboards. It is supposed to hold up a person, sitting down, standing up or lying down. And it has to fit through the gap of a bulletin board (behind the thing that I made, see below). It can get through if we disassemble it. 
I could sit on it, use it as a stool, and it's cute! After finishing the structure I was looking at it. It reminded me of buildings in Hong Kong. Really packed and in different heights. So I decided to add little windows and stuff to it to make it more interesting. :D



This is me sitting on it. It held up pretty well. I'm happy about it. Still better than the thing that I made to hold up the water bottle.
This project was not easy for me at all. However, I think I'm getting better at making these stuff. At least this time my stool did not collapse! I finished my creation earlier than most of my classmates did, so I was happy about my speed of working too.

  1. In the blog you clearly identified what could have been improved and talked about time management. I feel that you should talk about any feedback you received from students or teachers, if any, or how you can learn from your current planning patterns.
