25th September, 2050 Dear sir or madam, I am writing to complain about your robot model ZZZ.
I bought it last Monday at your shop, Robotica, but I am afraid it does not work. I was careful to follow the instructions for use, but your robot does not obey my commands. It refuses to take the children to school and to wash the dishes.
I will return it to you as soon as you tell me where to send it. I also expect you to send me another robot to replace it. Yours faithfully, Dorothy Smith.

Lesson 8 / Project

A Your first assignment • Draw two lines on a large cardboard paper as in the picture above. Then use a compass to draw circles around the centre of the piece of cardboard (which is the point where the two lines meet). The circles are the orbits of the eight planets. Make sure you keep a distance between the Årst four planets and the last four. • Use the sharp point of scissors to make a hole in the centre; this is where the Sun will hang. Then make one hole somewhere on each circle (orbit); a planet will hang from each hole. |
|
B Your second assignment • Cut circles from construction paper to represent the Sun and each of the planets. Refer to the picture of the solar system on page 37 for the different sizes of the planets and the Sun . • Write the name of each planet on the back of its circle with a marker or pencil. • Tape a piece of string to each planet and to the Sun. Through the correct hole in the large cardboard circle, lace the other end of each piece of string. Tape the end of the piece of string to the upper side of the cardboard. • You now have a model of our solar system. You may give a presentation to the class! |
