Step 1

Gather your materials.  If your tin foil is coming from a long roll it will be helpful to cut it to the shape seen here.

Step 2

Glue the tin foil piece of material in the upper corner of your black paper.

Step 3

Cut and glue 2 small right angle triangles to the bottom of your tin foil.  A right angle triangle is a triangle that has 1 angle that is 90 degrees.  The easiest way to create this is by cutting from the corner of your paper.

Step 4

Cut and glue on your equilateral triangle for the heat shield on the top of your rocket.  An equilateral triangle is a triangle that has three equal angle degrees and side lengths.

Step 5

Add in the stars your rocket will pass by on its voyage.

Step 6

**Alert** Have the ability to wash your hands immediately after this step!

Paint the red or orange paint onto your hand and press it just below the rocket ship to simulate flames.  These flames would come from the engines and create the thrust needed to achieve exit velocity.
