Get ready for our maiden Make and Do launch. A HUGE welcome to the BRILLIANT Emma from Two Little Pirates who is here to share her latest project. I am totally and utterly thrilled that she is now part of the Brothers Trimm Brigade. People, get ready to be suitably impressed...
The Captain's Pre-School currently have a space theme and the obsession with rockets and space stations has followed through at home. He asked if we could make a satellite... we decided to make The Hubble Telescope!
Materials:
2 toilet rolls (or 1 paper towel roll), alfoil, sticky tape, 2 strawers, a piece of cardboard (about half an A4 is plenty), a glue gun, 2 kebab sticks (cut one stick in half) and a marker pen.
Building the Hubble:
We taped the toilet rolls together and then used them to measure our Solar Arrays (or panels):
We then wrapped the Arrays and the Telescope in alfoil:
Trace 3 circles on the cardboard using an end of the toilet roll, then trim to fit inside the ends of the telescope and we used the third to make the Communications Antennae:
Stick the kebab stick through the centre of the telescope and then sticky tape or glue gun the Arrays on to the stick:
We cut a few straws and some tiny squares of cardboard to make the computers and the insulation that flank the telescopes tube. We used the glue gun to stick these on:
The Captain drew circles inside the third cardboard circle to make the Communications Antennae which we then glued to the top of the half length kebab stick and then stuck the other end into the top centre of the telescope:
