Introduction

Want to make a science model, but nothing new strikes your mind? If that’s the case, you are in the right place. Here we are going to make a satellite model for a science project. It is easy to make, and you also do not have to run here and there to gather the stuff required for making a satellite.

Supplies

Tools

• Marker
• Cutter
• Glue gun

Material

• Cardboard
• Colored Paper
• Double-sided tape
• Adhesive
• Straws

Steps To Make A Satellite Model For Science Project

Step 1: Take a cardboard and cut two rectangles of the following measurement.

Step 2: Cover it with origami papers in the way shown in the picture. Paste it on the cardboard. Instead of using paper, you can choose to color it.

Step 3: Make a box of cardboard as shown below.

Step 4: Cut out a ‘C’ from a paper of width 2-3 cm. And stick its end with each other.

Step 5: Now, make a circle of diameter 3 cm and wrap it with origami paper.

Step 6: Stick it to the funnel you prepared

Step 7: Now, make a small circle and stick a circular tab over it.

Step 8: Now, take three straws and do as instructed below.

Step 9: Now, take two cardboards of different sizes and stick them to the box as shown below.

Step 10: Now, stick the funnels to it.

Step 11: Pierce a hole under the box and do the same with the disc and glue the stick at both ends.

Step 12: Later, glue the satellite bars to the box.

Recommendations

As you can observe, making a satellite is quite an exciting task to do. Also, it is easier and cheaper to make. However, there are a few things to bear in mind while constructing it:

• Try to prepare the parts of the satellite beforehand.
• Stick everything properly.
• Follow the instructions carefully.
