How to make a flying rocket by using papers?

AI Thread Summary
To participate in the school Science Fair, a student is tasked with building a rocket that can fly. Resources for creating a rocket include a NASA website that provides guidance. Model rockets are available for purchase at hobby shops. Film canisters, which can be used in the rocket design, can often be obtained for free from photography shops, as they typically recycle them. It's important to avoid specific types of film canisters, such as those from Fujifilm, as they may not be suitable for the project.
