Design by Clare Schmidt & Laura Jandl The design of our course is called Trail of Wonder. First when you hit the ball you go through some trees or go in a secret path. The path has a lake on the side of it. After you go through the trees or path you get to a chicken. The chicken is on blocks, the blocks have wooden cups all around them. You have a little hole to go in. After the chicken you have to go over some bumps. After the bumps you go over a bridge. On the sides of the bridge there are two lakes. After the lakes is a street. The street has frogs and a snake in the middle of the road. It has a tube that you can go in but if you can get stuck you have to go to start. After the tube there is little wooden cups sticking out and you tried to get in the hole. |
Tried to do B by Laura Jandl & Clare Schmidt We tried to make a golf course. In the golf course we tried to make a flag that would go up when the ball was hit into the hole. We tried to make it complicated so you would not be able to go through it. Sometimes we got frustrated so we just took that thing off. We tried to make a golf course by doing all our school work so that we could work extra on our golf course. Problems by Laura Jandl & Clare Schmidt One of the worst problems we had was when Laura and I disagreed with each other. We also had to take some stuff off because it wouldn't work. We had to make a moving part so Laura and I wanted a flag that went up and down. That didn't work so we made a tornado and we liked it. |

Solved Problems by Clare Schmidt & Laura Jandl Laura and I solved the worst problem by not even using what we were disagreeing about. The stuff that didn't work we didn't use. The tornado we kept and we liked it. Materials by Clare Schmidt & Laura Jandl All you need to make a golf course is, something to sketch it on. A large piece of Styrofoam board to do the course on. You can have some materials like, Paint, cardboard. plastic tube, toothpicks, blocks, plaster later and stuff you mite find. Directions by Clare Schmidt & Laura Jandl First make a plan on how to get to the hole. Make a lot of obstacles so it's harder to get to the hole. You do not have to make a moving part but we did. It is a tornado. Cool huh. When you make the pits or the lakes you should make them first when you work on the foam board. Anything you find makes a good touch, especially frogs and lizards. When you put on the walls and obstacles you should always put them on before you do everything else. When you make the rest of your golf course you need to agree with your partner. You might be able to work on your own, but we worked together, and everybody else did too. When you are done with your golf course you might be able to paint it. We did. |
