Stage 5 - Developing ideas

Today we worked on a birdseye view of the artefact . We worked together I drew the circles with a compases and sophie measured the distances with a ruler . TW2, TW3

We have came to a decission on what materials we will be using . We will have a MDF wooden base as it is strong and eco friendly , and on top a piece of acrylic that we can cut a circle out of and place the concentric circles in to .TW5

We have now orderd the differnt sized balls from the website http://www.technologysupplies.co.uk/ we will be using for are plantes and hopefully they should arrive soon .

We came to an agreement of what we will be doing differnet times and weeks so we have this planned out and hopefully will have it finished on time .TW3

In the arfternoon we were hoping we could cut out the black acrylic on the lazer cutter but never got around to it as we never had anoth time .

So we plan to do that this week . Also after half term hopefully the wooden balls would of arrived and we can drill the holes in so the dowles will fit in nicely then paint the wooden balls to the colours of there planets. We can then also cut the dowles to the write size and paint them black to match the acrylic .SM2
