CONTENT OF THE TOPIC
CONCEPT OF SHAPE CONSTRUCTION
Shape Construction is making different shapes of objects such as a cone, funnel, ball, cylinder box with the use of paper, metal, wood and plastic.
MATERIALS USED FOR SHAPE CONSTRUCTION
The materials used for shape construction are:
- Wood
- Metal
- Paper
- plastic
CUTTING PAPER INTO SHAPE
Paper can be used to form different shapes like star, cone, and box.
Some tools are needed when cutting papers into shapes, these are:
- Scissor
- Sellotape
- Paper gum
- Pencil
- Steel rule
- Compass
SHAPE CONSTRUCTION METHODS
Shapes is constructed using the following methods:
- Folding: materials like paper, plastic and metal sheets, wire can folded in different ways.
- Bending: materials can be bent to form round or angular shapes. E.g. metal sheet, wire, plastic.
- Cutting: using tools like scissors, knife, saw, blade can be used to cut materials into different shapes.
- Joining: Adhesives such as gum, of different strength, glue and welding substances are used to join materials during shape construction.
OBJECTS THAT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED
Objects that can be constructed include:
- Cones
- Boxes
- Cylinders
- funnels
