Houston...we have a problem

StephSAL · 11:27 AM

Okay...my whole school is doing a them...Lift off to Learning...Reach for the stars. I have a lot of ideas, but would like to make a space shuttle or rocket to place on my outside board...Would like for it to be 3D, any ideas?

Principal is having dry ice in the lobby with some "tube made rockets"...so we need to get creative!

Any pictures?

Follow the link, then scroll down to view the space shuttle (since you're looking for the WOW factor).

We built a pirate ship last year for my son's Relay for Life team. It was awesome! As suggested on the website, we located the local distribution center from an appliance store and were able to pick up 3 refrigerator boxes from them. The rivets are easy to work with, and the pirate ship was very sturdy.

if this is what you're looking for, but it came to mind and might be useful for something.

have kids make "space capsules" out of Pringles cans. they can decorate to look like rockets and either
*put in there a letter to themselves for end of year (hopes and fears of the year...)
*or their ideas about space travel--would they like to go on the moon? life in space? etc.

you could hang these by stringing with fishing line or post on bull board with velcro.
