Gas Consumption Model

In the NLC classroom me and two other classmates, Hudson and Tyson, on a model for over consumption this is a picture of what we made. What we made was a giant pyramid made out of 55 pop cans. In front of our pyramid we have 6 bottles of water with food colouring in it to make the water in the bottle look like oil. While making this model I think that that I showed creativity and critical thinking while making this model because we had a few problems along the way because at first we were going to make a pyramid made out of gas jugs but it was to hard to track down all of the gas jugs because it would use 14 gas jugs. We had to think critically as a group and communicate a lot. And we finally came up with a plan to make it out of something that was smaller and was also something that looked a little bit like gas can used for something. We decided pop cans because they look a little bit like fuel cans that aeroplanes use to fuel up before a flight.
