Remember Pearl Harbor - 70th Anniversary

December 7th, 1941,  "a date that will live in infamy" brought the United States into WWII.  Today on this 70th Anniversary of the attack, let us remember the thousands who lost their lives in defense of our country.  We are forever in your debt.

Phase II: Scale project

Your next task is to create 3 additional models.  Please note that the overall dimensions have changed...so has the scale of each object.  The person you are sitting next to is an EXPERT on the object you are working on, so please consult and work with them.

Storage Box

 We make alot of models in class, and the problem has always been what to do with "model making stuff."  Well,  my students have solved the problem...they designed and built their own "portable storage device."  Take a look at these, which represent the most durable and best designed boxes this year.  Great job everyone!
