Model construction resources

Task: complete 2 diagrams. Assessment focus: centre of gravity.

For this practical task, students construct 2 different towers from multi-link blocks, then draw these shapes from 3 different views.

Students demonstrate their knowledge of solid, liquid, and gas particles by drawing the particle arrangement for wax vapour, molten wax, and candle wax.

In this practical task, students use drawings to identify the number of multi-link cubes needed to construct 3-dimensional shapes. They then construct the objects.

In this practical task, students construct 3-dimensional shapes from nets (provided), and then draw them on a grid.

Students use sticks to copy and continue a given spatial pattern, and identify the number of sticks needed to make a new shape in the pattern.

In this practical task students use multi-link cubes to construct two 3-dimensional models from pictures of each model from two different viewpoints.

In this practical task, students use multi-link cubes to construct two 3-dimensional models from pictures of each model from two different viewpoints.

In this practical task students use straws to construct skeleton models of 3-dimensional shapes from given drawings.

In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard cube to hold a tennis ball. They then cut out and construct the cube.

In this practical task, students follow a plan to construct a water timer. They then put on markings for times 1-5 minutes based on observations and recordings.

This practical task requires students to construct open boxes from grid paper and calculate their volumes.
