Puzzle Cube

                Using the cubes from the Applied Statistics project. We had to create a puzzle cube that had five parts and all we could use were the small cubes.We began sketching 3,4,5,and 6 combinations using blocks.  Then we follow the engineering process : Define Problem, Brainstorm, Select an Approach we began to put together the parts of the 3,4,5,and 6 block combinations to make cube parts and to for the puzzle cube, Make a Model or Prototype,  and Communicate Processes and Results. Then we glue the cubes together to make the five puzzle parts. Then we record all our process and steps in the engineering notebook and answer eight conclusion questions. This is the block combinations and solution:
                                                     
This is my Engineering notebook:

                                                                                                            
                   After this we consider packaging and we created a box to put the parts on we also include warnings, name, logo, bar code and a price. All which are include in real packing, When we were done we answer 2 conclusion questions and we were done with our Puzzle cube project.



This is the final puzzle cube with the packing:     
                            

Applied Statistics

This project was about statistics, we measure cubes that we number 1-27 and calculate the mean, median, mode, and range. We then express the data set values in the form of a histogram. After we complete this we answer 4 conclusion questions.

(This is what we use to measure the cubes its called a dialer scope)

This is are the activity pages:

Multiview sketching

After learning about Multiview sketching. We were given a packet with simple geometric solids which we had to turn into Multiview sketches.

Perpective View

While learning about perpective view. which is the most realistic three-dimensional view of all pictorial methods. Because it shows the image like the human eye see it. We sketch one-point, two-point, and three-point perpective of simple geometric solids. Then we shade then. Last we answer three conclusion questions.


Oblique Sketch

While learning about oblique sketching. Also about how there are two types of oblique pictorials: cavalier and cabinet. We then we drew different types of oblique geometric solids and shade them. Last we answer three conclusion questions. From this we were able to learn about how Oblique view of simple geometric solids is different from an Isometric view.


Isometric Sketch

After learning about Isometric sketching, we were given a page with drawings of geometric solids. That we had to draw and shade in a grid piece of paper. We also had to try to get the right measurements of each of the geometric solids.

History of Measurements

      In this project we had to work on groups of two. I worked with Shanay Chambers. First we research the history of measurement. Then we began to created our PowerPoint. In it we answer the nine questions that our teacher gave us. After we were done with added sound, animation, and pictures. Another part of this project was to create a CD cover which we did. We also had to answer some conclusion questions in our Engineering's Notebook. After this we finish with our project. Here  are some pictures:
