If you have your own Acme Rocket Launcher, you can create and send up rockets that show off your personality and creativity.
All you need is your Acme Rocket Launcher and a few simple household materials:
★a 500ml plastic cola bottle ★scissors ★colored markers
★poster board ★glue
What to do:
Step 1 Clean the cola bottle completely and allow it to dry.
Step2 Use markers to draw three small triangles ( 三角形) and one large triangle on the poster board. Cut out the triangles.
Step3 Roll (卷起) the large triangle so that two of its sides touch and it forms a rocket's nose cone. Glue the sides of the cone so that it holds its shape.
Step4 Glue the nose cone to the bottom of the bottle to make the top of the rocket.
Step 5 Glue the smaller triangles to the other end of the cola bottle, around its opening. The triangles will be the tail fins.
