3rd. Period

1. Karolyn Romero (Scale)

2. Jason Simmons (Push/Pull)

Learning Objective: YWBAT create a golden rectangle in SketchUp

Essential Question: How does the golden rectangle connect with the Platonic Solids?

Today's work:

1. Complete and Submit Rotation Race

2. Begin the to construct an Icosahedron.

SketchUp Demo

1. Go to model.nychscl.org and download the Rotation Race file from the homepage.

2. You will see furniture in all manner of disarray. Your job is to move the furniture into place using the Rotate and Move tools.

3. In addition to the furniture, you also need to rotate the side wall and the two guardrails into place.

4. When complete, submit the file via our Google Form.

Make sure you and your partner spend equal time on this activity!

Construction Challenge - the Icosahedron! Part 1

Do Now: Of the 4 rectangles below, which do you find the most pleasing?

Platonic Solids

A special type of polyhedra where:

1. All faces are regular polygons.

C

D

B

A

2. All faces are congruent.

3. The same number of faces/edges meet at each vertex.

The Golden Rectangle, Art, Design, and Nature

Unit 5 - Modeling by Folding

Rotation Race (10 min remaining)

Create three golden rectangles that are orthagonal to one another (fancy word for perpendicular)

Follow the instructions on the worksheet. Only construct the rectangles - they will be the skeleton for icosahedron that we will construct tomorrow.

Groups & Computer Assignments

Computer guidelines:

1. Laptops - pick up one at a time. Carry with two hands.

2. Absolutely no food or beverages - if we see it, you'll be asked to throw it away.

3. Any disrespectful or improper use of the technology will result in the confiscation of the technology and a zero on the assignment.
