Year-long Project (100pts) due on or before May 25, 2012 Option A – 100 Photos Take photos of Geometry that you see outside the classroom. Each photo will be accompanied by a caption. See attached list for items to photograph. You must photograph at least 50 separate items on the list (2nd page). A photo may have as many as 5 captions. This counts as 5 photos. For example, a block wall shows: (1) parallel lines, (2) perpendicular lines, (3) rectangles, (4) a simple tessellation, and (5) a plane. Electronic (email or on disc) submission is advised! It works best to use a PowerPoint type of presentation so that the pictures and captions can be done electronically. Option B – Research and Design (20 points each). Choose up to 5. For each option chosen, you may reduce the number of photos by 20. For example, if you choose two items on this list, you are required to have 60 photos that include 30 different items from the attached list. All research papers should be at least one page of type-written, double-spaced text and include diagrams, drawings, or relevant photos. Appropriate references required. 1. Historical Figure – Research an historical figure that had contributions to the study of Geometry: Pythagoras, Euclid, Euler, Galileo, M.C. Escher, or others you can find. Be sure to include diagrams or photos that enhance your paper. DUE January 14, 2012 2. Golden Ratio – Research the presence and use of the Golden Ratio or Golden Proportion in Nature (including human body), Art, Architecture or anywhere else. DUE January 14, 2012 3. Other kinds of Geometry – Research other types of Geometry known as non-Euclidean Geometry, like spherical geometry where Triangles have at least 180 degrees (p. 154)! DUE January 14, 2012 4. Constructions – Using compass and straight edge only, make 4 Geometric construction designs. Mr. Shenk has a book to guide you. 5. Scale Drawing – make an accurate detailed scale drawing of one of the levels of your home or a room in your home including the furniture. 6. Scale Drawing – enlarge a picture or drawing using a grid. 7. Model – construct a model car, boat, airplane or building. Depending on the size of the project, this can count as more than one option. Include the scale factor. 8. Carpet/Tile or Siding Job – Calculate the cost of putting in new carpet/tile in your home or the cost of putting new siding on your home. Accurate measurements and drawings are required. 9. Fractals – Research fractals in art and nature and design one of your own (p 380, 381) 10. Tessellations – Research tessellations in historical art/design and make frieze/mosaic/tessellation of your own (p. 514-521) Option C – Design your own project. Submit your idea for approval before beginning your project. It must incorporate elements of the Geometry we have studied and involve about 10 hours of work.
