This day we wait for Samy to come Desasiswa Aman Damai to build our dome. We wait for Samy to come one hour but were very disapointed. So, we decide to start build our floatilla. First, we start to joint the base of our floatilla. We arranged the bamboo and then we repeat measure the length of floatilla. After that, we start joint the bamboo as base for the floatilla using "plastic rope". We joint the bamboo with tightly to make sure the base firmly fixed.

Arranged the bamboo follow the length.

The first layer tight.

Put the equilibrium base.

Tight the first layer with equilibrium base.

Also tight the first layer with equilibrium base.

We together tight the second layer.

The base of floatilla completed. 

So we try to sit on the base to make sure the strengthen of the base.

We were very happy because can completed the base of the bamboo. 

This is because we build the base our floatilla only two of us alone.

Although, without Samy we as a girl can do without the help of man.

Assignment 2 : Geodesic Dome

Day     : Wednesday

Date    : 28th July 2010

Venue : DK E48B, HBP

Time    : 09:00-11:00 am

Today, Mr. Wan give us a new assignment. Mr. Wan asked we need to build a geodesic dome. In build a geodesic dome, there were 6 element that plays its own part. The element are:-

Intention:

To build of a model of a geodesic dome.

Act :

We start to build of a model of a geodesic dome using bamboo satay sticks.

We build the model in 2v.

Actor :

Normah (Me)

Rule :

Cut the bamboo satay sticks at the same lengths.

Make the dome at the right time to finish the dome.

Place :

In my room.

Product :

A model of a geodesic dome.

Material :

Bamboo satay sticks.

Masking tape

Scissor

Cutter

Ruler

A marker

Ruler, Cutter, A Marker, Scissor

Masking tape

Bamboo satay sticks

Step how to make a geodesic dome :-

• First of all, we need to decide what type of dome we want to build.

• Once we have decided what kind of dome we are going to build, we need to decide on a size. So, we choose to build 2v dome.  

• Then, we use dome calculator to calculate the radius for dome. There are only two lengths involved for 2v dome build.  The number of 2v dome radius is 12cm. The side A which is 7cm and side B is 6cm.

•  We need to measure the length of bamboo satay sticks and then point it.

Point the length of bamboo satay sticks.

•  After that, cut the bamboo satay sticks into 6cm and 7 cm.

Cut the harder sticks.

Cut the bamboo satay sticks into 6cm and 7cm

   

6cm long

7cm long

• Next, joining 10 sticks (6 cm long) using a masking tape.

put the sticks end to end.

Then, bend the 6cm sticks with masking tape.

• Then, bend the sticks until it shapes a decagon, after all the 10 sticks are joined.

Make a decagon

its base dome

• After that, joint 2 sticks together  (6 cm with 6 cm long and 7 cm with 7 cm long). Each 6cm and 7cm can make 5 joints.

 Joints 2 stick together.

• All of sticks are joint alternately 6cm and 7 cm.
  

Stick joint alternately

Make another decagon with joint the 6cm until 10 sticks. The decagon is then stick on to the edges of the triangles.

A decagon

• Then, make a triple sticks joint. Stick it on the middle edges of the triangles with the 6 cm long stick and the left and the right side of triangle with 7cm. At the middle of pentagon should make a star shape.

Before complete a dome

• Finally, after a star shape are put and bend to the top a dome so, my Geodesic Dome are completed.

• Thats all.
