Part of Lesson Plan: Engineering a Hotter Hot Wheel Part 1- Model the Car

Activity Overview / Details

As students progress in the modeling of their toy cars, demonstrate use of fillet and chamfer to create features to make the model more realistic. Review additive and subtractive methods of modeling such as extrude and extrude cut. As students need to apply sketch planes to curved surfaces, demonstrate the use of work planes and project geometery.

Differentiate the lesson by requiring a minimum amount of modeling, such as at least five cycles of sketching/modeling. Students with higher skill levels may meet other benchmarks, such as use of at least 3 work planes. Advanced students may demonstrate their skill level by applying decals and/or embossing their models.
