Checking on the next set of instructions, Alyssa took out her Swiss Army Knife from her backpack and unfolded the scissors from the tool. Placing the cardboard on the table in front of her, Alyssa first picked up a pencil and sketched out the shape of the wings. She tried to imagine how they looked like on the pictures of rockets she had seen in some of the old NASA magazines her brother had brought home.

She drew them out carefully on the cardboard. Four angular shaped wings, all of the same size and shape. Once she was sure that the wings looked proportionate, she put down her pencil and picking up her scissors began carefully cutting out the shapes.

As she cut each one out, she placed each one on the table until she had all four wings. Unholstering her wand, she picked up the first wing and as she placed it next to the side of the uncut bottle, she pointed her wand at where it was attached and said, "ADHAERO". Once she was sure that the wing was securely attached to the bottle, she repeated the steps for the other three wings, making sure that they were all aligned at the same height around the bottle.

Alyssa then checked her journal to see what the next steps were and to scratch off what steps she had completed.


Text Cut: Instructions to make Bottle Rocket

1. TAKE A POTTY BREAK!
2. Be sure there is NO soda left in your bottle.
3. Use the Severing Charm to cut ONE of your bottles about 2/3 of the way from the top so that you have removed the top. (be sure to cut the end with the lid)
4. Check to make sure that the cut bottle fits over the bottom of the other bottle. It should slide on and off easily.
5. Cut out 3-4 wings that are the same in size. If the size is off it will effect how high the rocket launches. You can make them whatever size you want and whatever shape you want.
6. Use Adhaero to stick the wings to the UNCUT bottle. Be sure that they are attached around the same height.

7. Take your plastic bag, dental floss, and a remaining cardboard and lay them out on your desk.
8. Tie some dental to the plastic bag's handles and attach this string to the bottom of your UNCUT bottle. This will become your rocket's parachute.
9. Place the bottom part of the bottle on top other bottle. Make sure the bottom part of your rocket has the parachute.
10. DECORATE!


Now to attach the plastic bag ala parachute. As she picked up the plastic bag, Alyssa kept a watchful eye for anyone who might need help with their rocket making.
