Part 2Materials and Tools• One cardboard paper towel core perstudent• One flexible straw per student• One 12-by-12-inch sheet of aluminum foilper student• Four paper circles 1-1/2 inches in diameterper student• One small (1-inch) paper clip per student• One 3-oz. paper cup per student• One pair of scissors per student• Tape• Glue (not glue sticks)• One copy of the Student Work Sheet Part 2for each student (see page 44).Procedures1. Cut the paper towel core in half lengthwise(figure 1).4. Using the pencil, poke a hole in one sideof the toilet-paper core halfway down thecore. Make the hole large enough for thestraw to fit into it.Figure 25. Cut the straw down so it is 1/4 inch longon one side of the flexible section andabout 1 inch long on the other side.6. Put the short end of the straw into the hole,bend the straw so the longer end lays flatagainst the paper towel core. Tape intoplace. This represents the fuel line (figure2).7. Fold the paper circles in half then intoquarters. Open the circles.8. Cut along the folds close to the center butdo not cut through the center. Do this onthe remaining circles too.Figure 12. Tape the halves together on one side tocreate a hinge effect. This will make iteasier for the students to put the piecestogether.3. Cover the halves with foil. This is strictlyfor appearance.Figure 336High Performance Learning Activities in Mathematics, Science and TechnologyEG-2003-01-001-DFRC
9. Bend one corner from each section so thecircles resembles a fan. Do this for twomore circles also (figure 3).10. Straighten the paper clip. Then bendapproximately 1/2 inch of the paper clipdown on one end. This will keep the paperfans from sliding off the paper clip.11. Push the end of the paper clip into thecenter of one fan. Slide the fan back so itis resting against the bent end of the paperclip. Wrap a narrow piece of tape aroundthe paper clip to act as a spacer and toprovide stability. Repeat this step with twoof the three remaining fans.12. Wrap a narrow piece of tape 1 inch fromthe straight end of the paper clip. Place theremaining fan onto the paper clip to serveas the turbine, wrap a final piece of tapearound the paper clip to keep the fan inplace (figure 4).Figure 514. Tape the paper towel core shut.15. Cut down the length of the paper cup andcut the bottom out of it.16. Put the cup back together overlapping theedges.17. Insert it into the paper towel roll, large endfirst. Ease the paper cup open until itsnugly fits inside the toilet paper roll. Tapethe edge of the cup on the inside to hold itsshape. The cup will move easily butshould not fall out. This represents thetailpipe and the movement of the tailpipewith thrust vectoring (figure 6).Figure 413. Install the compressor and turbine unit intothe engine by placing glue inside the tubewhere the edge of the fans will touch thesides of the tube on the same side as wherethe hole was made for the fuel line. Holdthe fans in until glue is partially dry(figure 5).Figure 6High Performance Learning Activities in Mathematics, Science and TechnologyEG-2003-01-001-DFRC37
