In this project, I utilized origami to construct a hot air balloon model, illustrating fundamental concepts in physics and design. I crafted windmill shapes and rectangles from origami paper, employing lightweight materials to optimize flight potential. By taping the crafted box to the hot air balloon, I demonstrated the principles of buoyancy and aerodynamics. This educational activity merges art with science, allowing students to engage creatively while learning about the mechanics of flight and the importance of material choice in model building.

Note from Author • I made a windmill shape out of origami paper and a small rectangle as well. • Using some sort of thin paper or string (which will probably work the best), I taped the box to the hot air balloon.
