High tech hole in one
Math: To start our project, we first went to Belmont Park for some inspiration before building our own mini golf courses. Next we mapped out the measurements of our wooden bases in math class. We then cut our wooden boards and glued turf to the top. Next, we made wooden boarders and screwed them to the sides of our boards so that when we played on our course, the ball wouldn't roll off the sides. Finally we screwed each board together, connected the sides, and cut out a hole at the end of the course. When the course was finished, we mapped out ways for the ball to go in the hole using methods like: reflection, slope and 45-45-90.
Humanities: Each group of five students picked an event in history to represent in their mini golf hole. My group's event was the Age of Exploration. Every student wrote an essay about our topic to help understand the event more. Each person in our group picked an explorer during the Age of Exploration, and created an obstacle that each explorer had to face in their life. We placed our obstacles on the board in chronological order and tried out our mini golf hole to see if our obstacles were placed in a way that was easy enough to still get a hole in one.
Multimedia: Each group chose one student to represent their hole in a video. That student acted as a figure from their historical event and answered questions in an interview. This helped viewers understand not only the figure's background, but the historical event as well.
