30 students from our two teams were selected by our art teachers
to design the 3-D clay models
|
We downloaded Martian images from various sites including Mars
Team Online and ...
|
...attempted to duplicate the photograph.
|
Some of the landscapes were very complex!
|
While the artists worked, another girl drilled more than 4,000
holes in the container covers!
|
11 containers were created, and we started to take measurements.
The readings were recorded on a grid, and a data sheet
|
X = 15, Y = 3, Z = 2
|
Then we translated the heights into colors.
|
From the grid we created a topographic map.
|
We also entered all of the data into a spreadsheet.
|
We created 3-D images of the spreadsheet in black and white, and
in...
|
... color!
|
Then we attempted to match the landscape to the 3-D graph and topographic
map by ...
|
...looking at the original photographs
|
This was not easy! The most diligent group was only able to match
8 of the 11 landscapes!
