inquiry

Description: in term 4 we have been doing an activity called inquiry. There are lots of deferent inquiry groups to choose from. I wanted to learn more about the 3D printer, so That was my first choice.

Why will this benefit future RSS students: I think that my 3D printed creation will benefit the school by inspiring others to make somethings interesting not plane square creations.

Thinking outside of the box: I thought about how I could think outside the box by learning how to make interesting shapes.

here are some pictures:

This is my personality sphere
















This is the holder gear.

Yesterday we had our last day of inquiry. I tried to print the personality sphere, but apparently James said that I'm to smart and creative for the printer, so then I tried to print this:


















But that just looked like a messed up mustache. So I tried this instead:










but the stump for the tree ended up like a wonky spiral staircase. The star didn't even print and the tree was just a knotted string of plastic.

So then I whipped something simple up in 20 seconds like this and hopefully it works:













Now I'm called THE PRO! at sketchup. Later on James asked the pros at sketch up (William G and I) to try to make a gun with free hand draw on sketchup. This is my result ( It's bad)












My questions:

1. What did I accomplish? I accomplished being a pro and helper at sketchup.

2. What was the most frustrating/ challenging thing? What difficulties did you encounter? When I           was too smart, too clever and too creative and complicated and It wouldn't print anything                     RIGHT!!!

3. What was your proudest moment in your enquiry? Becoming THE PRO! at sketchup.

These are the following questions in the follow up I need to answer.

  • Why do you think the author kept back till now the information about the role that Rezza’s father played in searching for ways to overthrow the Guards? (Pg.96) to add the impacted when they found out.

  • Serge is revealed as a spy for the Guards by his glowing fingernail. (Pg.104) Did you predict this? Why? Why not? What signs have there been? no because it was pretty random and I didn't know there were any signs.
