                         science-hot air balloons
                                                                                  


  1. Cut 1 square for the top and 4 rectangles for the sides.
  2. Glue the sides to the square in the middle like in photo 1.
  3. put a pillow on your head and carefully place the hot air balloon on the pillow and glue the sides together like in photo 4.
  4. Get 4 straws and glue two straws and and do the same with the other straws and then glue them in a cross.
  5. Get 4 party candles and chop them in half so now you have 8 small candles.
  6. cut a 8cm x 8cm piece of tin foil and melt the candles on to the tin foil.
  7. Then glue the tin foil to the straws and tape the straws to the balloon.
  8. its optional if you want to add string so it doesn't fly away.
  9. then lite the candle and let them heat up and they should fly.
