Creating a flood-resistant smart house working model using a cardboard house, plastic bottles, a plastic tray, waste sketch pens, and chopsticks can be a creative and educational project.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you build this model:
Materials Needed
- Cardboard (for constructing the house)
- Plastic bottles (for buoyancy)
- Plastic tray (to simulate the flood area and hold water)
- Waste sketch pens (for supports)
- Chopsticks (for moving the house)
- Hot glue gun or craft glue
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Markers or paint (for decorating)
- Tape
- Small pieces of foam or sponges (optional, for additional buoyancy)

1. Construct the Cardboard House
- House Structure:
- Cut pieces of cardboard to create the walls, roof, and base of the house.
- Assemble the house by gluing the pieces together. Ensure it is sturdy and well-constructed.
- Decorate the house with markers or paint as desired.
- Attach Plastic Bottles for Buoyancy:
- Collect several plastic bottles of the same size. These will be attached to the bottom of the house to provide buoyancy.
- Securely attach the plastic bottles to the base of the cardboard house using hot glue or strong tape. Make sure they are evenly distributed to keep the house balanced.
2. Prepare the Plastic Tray
- Flood Simulation Tray:
- Use a large plastic tray to represent the flood area. This tray will hold water to simulate flooding.
- Ensure the tray is large enough to accommodate the floating house.
3. Create the Support System
- Sketch Pens as Supports:
- Use waste sketch pens as vertical supports to elevate the house above the tray.
- Attach the sketch pens to the corners of the house using hot glue or tape. These will act as legs to hold the house above the water level when there is no flooding.
- Chopsticks for Movement:
- Use chopsticks to create a system that allows the house to move vertically during flooding.
- Attach chopsticks horizontally to the vertical supports (sketch pens) in a way that they can slide up and down. This can be done by creating loops or channels with small pieces of cardboard.
4. Assemble the Model
- Combine Components:
- Place the house with the attached plastic bottles and sketch pen supports in the center of the plastic tray.
- Ensure the chopsticks are positioned to allow the house to move up and down smoothly.
- Test Buoyancy:
- Add water to the plastic tray to simulate flooding.
- Observe how the house floats on the water, supported by the plastic bottles. The chopsticks should guide the vertical movement, keeping the house stable.
5. Final Touches and Demonstration
- Stability Check:
- Ensure all components are securely attached and the model is stable.
- Make any necessary adjustments to improve stability and functionality.
- Explain the Concept:
- Demonstrate how the house floats during a flood, explaining the role of the plastic bottles in providing buoyancy and the chopsticks in guiding the movement.
- Discuss the importance of flood-resistant housing in flood-prone areas and how this model represents a potential solution.
By following these steps, you’ll create an informative and visually engaging flood-resistant smart house working model using a cardboard house, plastic bottles, a plastic tray, waste sketch pens, and chopsticks.
