Activities

1. With a partner write down 3 techniques for identifying geometries of an object
2. Identify the method for identifying geometry:
   • 
     
   • 
     
   • 
     
3. Which technique would you use to model a car:
   Discuss each object and their properties. Your answers should include a precise and articulate explanation of why you chose your method for that object.
4. Research and present your findings on as many types of filament you can find.
