Show/Hide Constraints Do Now

On the Top plane, make this shape. Ensure the corner is centetered at the orign. Use Corner rectangle:

Step 2) add teh arc:

Step 3) Lines and make 1 tangent:

Step 4) Turn on “show constraints” and take a screenshot. Make sure that you have the same constraints that mine does

Below is the a screenshot of what your constraints should be :

Midpoint and Construction Lines

Step 1) Crate a 2.5 by 2 rectangle and use Corner, centered at origin

Step 2) Add 2 points and make them midpoints:

Step 3) Add a construction line between the midpoints (link)

Step 4) offset the perimiter by 0.25

Step 3) Extrude the outside only:

Step 4) Add a 0.1 Chamfer to one side:

Step 5) On the other side, add a small filet.

Step 6) Play with the chamfer and fillet(increase sizes) until you understand the difference. In your google doc paste a screenshot of the 3 shape so I can see the filet and the chamfer . And explain the difference, physically, between the 2

30 degree angle in triangle

Step 1) Create a new empty sketch and draw 2 lines that meet. The lines should be 3 and 4 in length and should connect at one point. They should be dimensioend to be 3 and 5 but they will be blue and that is ok

Step 3) Dimension the angle to 45 degrees. Link . You shoul dhave something liek this (your orientation/angle might be different)

Step 4) connect the vertices to make a triangle. Picture:

Step 5)

Step 6) Add a chamfer. Take a screenshot and submit on classrom

Circle Over Mirror Line

Step 1) create a sketch called “Favorite Sketch” on the front plane:

Step 2) Draw a line then ensure it’s vertical : (doesn’t have to be exact but about this size and location)

Step 3) Draw a circle , radius of 3. blue is fine. Just make its radius dimensioned to 3

Step 4) Make the line a mirror line and reflect circle over it :

Step 5) N ow, extrude the circle. What happens to the other circle? Does it matter which circle you extrude? Paste the final photo with the extrude in the assignment

Microbit Makecode Temperature Measurement

Activity (Lower Computational Thinking)

Step 1 : build forever → show number → temperature. ( how to link)

Flash to device (link).

Step 2 : Scavenge Hunt Battery pack on, roam the room. Record on a paper table. Write each number

  • by the window,
  • near a laptop,
  • in a cupped hand,
  • on the floor. 4–5 spots write the number each time..

Extension: The micro:bit thinks of temp in Celsius. Convert that reading into Fahrenheit for display and your logs; the micro:To do this, you must be able to make a variable and then implement the conversion formula. Here’s one way: (how to )

Activity (Upper Computational Thinking)

Step 1 : Two Numbers 1 Device : button A → temperature, B → light level (how to link)

Two sensors, one device.

Flash once .

Step 2 : Scavenge Hunt Battery pack on, roam the room. Record on a paper table. Log both temperature and light at each spot, and record a second reading at each spot 30 seconds apart to see if it drifts. 4–5 spots

  • by the window,
  • near a laptop,
  • in a cupped hand,
  • on the floor. 4–5 spots write the number each time..
