3Activity: Biblical Architecture Geometry Project (18 min)
project

Create a scaled drawing of the Tabernacle's layout using geometric principles

📝 Instructions:
  1. Use graph paper to create a scaled drawing
  2. Calculate perimeter and area of different sections
  3. Use rulers and protractors for precise measurements
  4. Color and label different geometric shapes
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Focus on basic rectangular shapes

Challenge: Include more complex geometric calculations

4Closing (5 min)

Review geometric concepts and biblical connection

📝 Review Questions:
  • What geometric shapes did you use in your drawing?
