Review of what you need on your 3D Model. 

“Turn Your Poster Into a 3-D Survival Camp”

Goal

Use your completed Survival Poster to build a 3-D model of your group’s survival campsite.
The model should bring your poster to life and show how your 10 items would actually be used in the wilderness.

Your poster will guide:

  • Your camp layout

  • Where each item goes

  • How you use each tool

  • Your shelter, fire, water, and safety plan

This is a hands-on, creative extension activity.


Requirements for the 3-D Model

✔ 1. Use Your Poster as Your Blueprint

Your model must follow the survival plan you already created:

  • Same 10 items

  • Same survival strategy

  • Same layout ideas (shelter, fire, water access, food prep, etc.)

Your poster should be beside you while you build.


✔ 2. Create a 3-D Survival Camp Model

Use ANY basic materials you have:

  • Shoe box, box lid, cardboard

  • Clay, Play-Doh, Lego, blocks

  • Paper, tinfoil, popsicle sticks

  • Rocks, sticks, string

  • Recycled materials

  • Drawn or paper cut-out items if needed

Models can be simple or detailed — neatness, clarity, and accuracy matter more than art skill.


✔ 3. Include All 10 Survival Items

Every item from your poster must appear in your model in some form:

  • Built

  • Drawn

  • Sculpted

  • Paper-labeled

  • Or represented by a small object

Each item must be labeled clearly.


✔ 4. Camp Layout Elements (Non-negotiable)

Your model must show:

  • Shelter location

  • Fire area

  • Water source

  • Tool storage or use area

  • Sleeping space

  • Food prep or eating space

Use the layout from your poster — or update it slightly if you realized something could be improved.


✔ 5. Mini Explanations (Short + Simple)

Attach one sentence per item explaining:

  • How you will use it
    OR

  • Why it is placed where it is in the model

These may be:

  • On small flags stuck into the model

  • Written on a cue card beside it

  • Taped to the sides of the shoebox
