Sit at tables Take notes on how to construct a Tetrahedron Kite
Sit at tables Materials: Plastic bag Name Card String Pattern/Ruler Straws Tissue Paper
Thread one 40 inch string through three straws.Tie together leaving 2 inches of string on one side and 12 inches of string on the other.Repeat with other 40 inch pieces of string.
Take one triangle and tie a 14 inch string to one corner (2 inches on one side/ 12 inches on other)Repeat with other corner Repeat with other 19 triangles
Add 2 straws to each triangle (long string) tie 2 loose ends together to form 2 trianglesrepeat with other triangles
Fold one sheet of tissue paper in ½ (hamburger fold) - creaseFold in ½ again - creaseFold in ½ again - crease
Use template – place dotted line on folded edge – paper clip - and cut out
Unfold tissue paper (should have 4 lifting surfaces)Place straws on top – glue together
Thread 1 straw through long string – tie to opposite corner making a tetrahedron shaperepeat with all triangles
Attach tether string to front end of the tetrahedron kite (the corner with tissue paper face)
