Day 8 and Day 9

Construct a Bicycle:

Using traditional constructions and a compass, design a bike. The more constructions you include, the better. The constructions must be visible to the eye. The construction should be on poster board. The bicycle must be colored, neatly presented, and must be based on what you have learned in this unit thus far regarding bicycle design. The article on bicycle design might be helpful to read for this assignment. Also, view the web page

to get some ideas regarding the bicycle design. This pdf file may be helpful as well.


Write a brief explanation of the constructions you used and the order that you used them in. The reader should be able to recreate this bicycle design. Once you have designed your bicycle, try to design a similar bicycle using GSP. Print a copy and tape it to the back of your poster board.
