Introduction
Students will build a robot made of geometrical shapes found around their home such as empty boxes, cans, water bottles, etc.. For each piece of the robot, students will need to take it’s measurements, i.e., the length, width, height, diameter (if it’s a cylinder). Students will need to find the volume and surface area of each body part as well as the total volume and surface area of the geobot. Students will need to write a description of what the goebot can do, sketch views of the geobot from all sides. Students should input all information into table format Students should work alone and be given one week to complete the task outside of class.
