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.
