Model Lighthouse

As a team, my table had created our own model lighthouse for our Seaside project. In the lesson, we all learnt that lighthouses are tall patrollers that warn ships and boats that this part of the ocean is rocky and could actually sink to the bottom. As a matter of fact, that is the reason why every photo of a lighthouse that you see are surrounded my rocks as sharp as knives meaning that it could tear a piece of metal with ease.

As we made a lighthouse, we needed a long tube and 2 scraps of cards (ideally red and white). We had a plastic cup, 2 crocodile wires, cardboard, a bulb, a bulb holder and a battery and battery holder. Using the bulb you need to twist it until it is secure into the bulb holder. Then with your coloured crocodile wires use on end to attach it to the battery where the two nails are and do the same to the bottom bit of the bulb holder. Afterwards attach the battery.

Then after that place your electrics onto a safe sturdy place. Draw accurately with a 2 cm distance of white and red strips of card. Now use a glue stick and stick them down onto the tube in a pattern of white and red. Due this continuously and then you will get a stunning picture. Then cut out some pieces of cardboard to fit under the tube hole and using tape stick it down. Now get a card any colour and measure it to be the same size of the blub(JUST THE BULB SO IT DOESN'T GO THROUGH IT FULLY). Now use tape to stick it with the plastic cup. Then put in your wiring and hold the bulb to fit it through. Now you have finished.

The hardest part was probably cutting the hole as it was very difficult to make it fit. The easiest part was making the wiring.
