Case Study Of Two Ping-Pong Balls

Part #1.-

Adian and I created a carrier for two Ping-Pong balls that look like pair of glasses. To make this model we used four rectangular prisms and a cube. We used two long and skinny rectangular prisms to make the two temples of the glasses, and we used two rectangular prisms to make the two lenses. Then, we made a cube to be the bridge of the pair of glasses. We selected these shapes because when put together they resemble a pair of glasses, and we were familiar with the shapes. We also made a cylinder shape model for the four Ping-Pong ball model. We both knew a lot about cylinders and we thought that it would be perfect for the four Ping-Pong balls to be stacked on top of each other with ease so they would always be together and not …show more content…
For our first model we choose to make four rectangular prisms, and one cube to make a pair of glasses for the two Ping-Pong ball model. We choose these shapes because, we both knew how to find the surface area and volume of them to the point where it wasn’t easy, but it was not super difficult. We felt safe using these shapes. When put together they also can be taped together perfectly to resemble a pair of glasses. We thought that this would be a great model to make because, for one thing my partner and I both wear glasses so we thought that it would be a fun, familiar, and a creative model to make to house our Ping-Pong balls. It's also a very creative idea, and not a bland idea. For our second model we chose to make a more simple model which is a cylinder. We chose this idea because, even though it is not the most fun model to look at, it is also very convenient. The Ping-Pong balls would fit perfectly in it, and you can stack the balls on top of each other. They would be easy to take out, and they would be organized. This is why we choose the cylinder model for our four Ping-Pong ball model. My partner and I worked together through our words, rather than grabbing, or yelling. We also assigned jobs to each other to get things done faster. My partner and I selected certain designs with certain shapes for specific …show more content…
We also knew that it would be simple, but not too simple to make since we are familiar with the shapes that make it up. Also, it is also a very creative design, and that's what we were aiming for in at least one of the designs. My partner and I decided to make the glasses super colorful and fun looking. My partner used a variety of fun colors to make the design pop out and draw the eye. We wanted out design to be noticed. Most people look at things that are attractive and not bland, so we made our prototype very eye appealing. I think it would be fairly easy to shelve because it's not a wobbly structure and each design would go right on top of each other. Our prototype has eye appealing
