Hi, welcome back to my blog, this time scimatics 😀
Driving question: How can the relationship between surface area and volume of 3D objects can be used to describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships?
So the premise of this project is to use tinkercad (a primitive peice of 3d modeling software) to create a bunch of shapes that combine into an object that either maximizes volume or surface area. For example, a house that would maximize volume (my project).
So, heres my 3d object (I also made a car since the minimum shapes amount was 10 and I didn’t  have 10 until I added the car)
I also made a keynote (basically apple stole powerpoint and made it blue) which we had to present to the class. The keynote also details all of the painstaking calculations that we did to get the volume and surface area of every single shape:
This was so painful since all the shapes that were overlapping you had to subtract surface area and volume from them if the surface area or volume of that shape is inside another shape. But other than that tinkercad shows you the measurements and its pretty easy to calculate it all.
Heres my keynote
Thanks for listening 😀
