Diorama Design

Here are the instructions in case you get stuck and need a reminder of how this diorama works.
Remember sketch lightly with pencil. Black pen around the edges hides the pencil and makes the colour really stand out.
Time, effort and perseverance are the key to completing a quality job.

More balance ideas to think about. In your teams read and follow these instructions. Create the model and then answer the questions. (Book Creator, Pic Collage) will probably be the best apps to use to present your findings but I will leave that up to you to decide.



These are the activities in the book that you are going to focus on.

Maze Designing and Building

Found this cool web sight with a really clear set of guide lines to use.
Remember the task is to build a maze that will be a challenge for someone to balance their way through using a marble.

http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Marble-Maze-Game

As a team you could decide to follow these instructions or you can just use them as a place to get ideas and be creative, come up with your own design from scratch.

Remember it is a good idea to make sure everyone in your team has a role/job to do. One of those jobs is to take photos or little video clips along the way so you can present the process of designing and building as well as having the finished product to test peoples balance skills with.

Your goal should be to make your maze look as tidy and professional as possible.
To achieve this you will need a plan to work to so you know where you are going.  You will be able to control the process better.
You may have to do some trials with the glue gun to see what will work best.

Looking forward to seeing what your teams come up with.
Remember communication is key when working with others. Listen, think and be willing to compromise.
This challenge is as much about learning to work successfully in teams as it is about creating a maze.

Have FUN!
