Emergency shelters

We designed an emergency shelter. An emergency shelter is a place that keeps people safe from natural disasters.

First, we drew up our 3D net. A 3D net is something that can be folded into a 3D shape. Our shape was a cube. We needed to draw six 15 cm squares.

Next, we transferred the 3D net into card by measuring the length and width. Once we finished we started cutting it out and folding it into a cube.

Lastly, we started to build our model which was supposed to look like the card. We used cardboard to build the model because it’s strong enough to hold the shelter up.
