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. |
