This week we had to make a plan of action and a prototype. For my first prototype I bought a basket from the store and got a mop. I was going to use the stick end of the mop to attach the basket to. I was going to take off the mop bottom, but the mop bottom was good for it to stand. As I looked into peach baskets more I learned that when the baskets where first made the didn’t have a hole in the bottom, but later on they drilled a small hole on the bottom so when somebody scored they would take a long stick and poke the ball out. To attach the hoop to the mop I used duct tape but next time it think I’m going to nail it together. Here are pictures of my prototype:
Passion Project 2
The next thing we did was make slideshows about the steps of making it and what we wanted it to look like. Here is mine:
Passion Projects
For my 6th grade passion project I chose to do the history of basketball. For my final project I am going to make a peach basket.
