    In my classroom, I’d use making a spacecraft model as a fun and educational activity that combines creativity with science. I’d start by introducing the concept of space exploration and discussing the different parts of a spacecraft, like rockets and engines. I’d then give each student materials like paper towel rolls, colored paper, aluminum foil, and small paper cups. As the students build their models, I’d encourage them to think about how each part helps the spacecraft travel and explore space. This hands-on project helps them grasp basic engineering concepts while developing teamwork and problem-solving skills. Afterward, I’d organize a “space launch” session where each student can share their creations and explain their design choices. This activity not only sparks interest in space science but also enhances fine motor skills and builds confidence as they present their work
