Part A. 
The design of the course. I am going to 
tell you how to make a mini mini Golf Course.  First I had 
to make a rough draft on a piece of paper that was 1 yd. 
and 8 in. by 30 in. When you make your real course, you 
take a piece of styrofoam the same size as
your rough draft.

Part B. 
What we tried to do. we tried to make a 
Mini Mini Golf Course with a moving part. You also have 
to work with a partner and split the Mini Mini golf Course 
any way you would like to share it with two other people.
Part C. 
The problems We had. my partner and I had a lot of 
problems, for example we didn't know what we were 
going to do for our moving parts and had problems with
burning ourselves with the hot glue gun. So be careful 
when you make your Mini Mini Golf Course. We had one 
more problem with not knowing how to make our bridge.

Part D. 
How we solved the problems. We solved the hot glue gun 
problem by being a lot more careful. We solved the moving 
part problem by thinking of all of the moving parts that 
we could do and picked the best one, which we thought 
was the windmill. We also solved the bridge problem by 
looking at a sample of a bridge, and we did the same thing 
just like the example, and our bridge turned out really, 
really good.

Part E. 
The materials you need. To make a Mini Mini Golf Course 
you need a lot of materials. I will list them for you. You 
need inclined planes, levers, a hole, bridges, lakes, pits, 
trees, signs, toothpicks, pennies, bottle caps, boxes, a 
hot glue gun, duct tape, corks, toy car tracks, toys, bumps, 
pathways, motors, snakes, frogs. Iizards, flags, metal 
scraps, ball bearings and a marble.
How to make the mini mini golf Course. 
First you hit the marble down a path and it will go up the 
bridge and then down the bridge and the marble will land 
in a lake. To get the ball on the path you have to hit the 
marble out of the water. Once you hit the marble out of 
the water it might land in a pit or hit a cork. Then you 
have to hit the ball under the tunnel and you have to get 
the marble through a little opening. 

By the tunnel there are trees and a lake. You have to get 
the marble over a hill or through a little door, there is 
a lake in the corner, too. Now you have to get the marble 
over our snake and through the windmill that is moving. 
Once you get the marble through the windmill you have 
to get the marble into the hole.
