Lets get started!

Here are the things you need:

Remember!

We have to design a food container that keeps our food from spilling and maintain its temperature.

STEP 1: Draw a rectangle on the aluminum sheet. The length of:

• Longer side is 24cm.
• Shorter side is 8cm.

STEP 2: Follow the line marks and cut the sheet with a scissor. This is how your sheet will look like after it's been cut.

STEP 3: Place the cup on one end of the sheet and start rolling it up. To get it covered like this.

NOTE:

Turn the bottom part of the sheet down with the cup base. This will allow the cup to stand on a flat surface.

STEP 4: Cut a 10cm x 10cm piece out of the remaining aluminum sheet.

STEP 5: Place this piece on the top of the cup to make a lid.

Carefully turn the corners of the sheet towards the wall of the cup.

STEP 6: The cardboard is our base. But if you just place the container on it, it will float away. Perhaps a locking mechanism is needed!

Think of a simple locking system..

STEP 7: Grab that thread ball and follow these steps. Cut two pieces of threads, 20cm each.

STEP 8: Wind the string onto the cardboard and stick it at the back with tape. Attach the other string too as shown.

Back

STEP 9: Carefully poke a hole in the food container to make room for inserting a straw. The food can be consumed through the straw.

STEP 10: Let's make a stable base for our container. You can use the popsicle stick! Invert the cup and put the stick on it like this.

STEP 11: Let's lock our model onto the base. See if it fits in properly, adjust the strings if need be.

Voila Astronaut, feast!

Watch a few astronauts
