Step 1. To make this windmill, use an empty milk container for the house. Step 2. Cut windows on the sides or paste colored paper on it. Step 3. The roof is made from cardboard, attached with cellophane tape or Scotch tape
How to Make Them: (1) On each side of the container, cut 2 door-shaped pieces with a pair of scissors. (2) Bend the door back slightly. (3) To paint the windmill, dip a wet brush in a liquid detergent or rub it on a piece of soap or raw potato before dipping it into the paint.

Make the tail end the cap, and punch a hole in the cap for the skewer. Decorate the cap end as the pig snout, and put the windmill on the wide end for the tail. 00:00. 00:0212:45

Remove the cardboard tube from a coat hanger (the type you get from a dry cleaner). Cut a slot at the middle section that will allow a piece of twine to go through
Read MoreWindmill Design and Build Help visitors explore the factors that go into wind turbine design. Using a cardboard juice/milk carton as the base, visitors are given hubs, sticks, and cardboard blades to create their own wind turbine. They then test the power of their turbine by determining how much weight the turbine can lift in a strong
Read MoreA few ideas occur to me: 1) If you bent the vanes outward rather than inward it might make the turbine catch more wind since it would increase the area presented to the wind. 2) To stabilize the turbine you could try using a piece of fishing line instead of a paper clip, threading it through a hole in the top and bottom of the bottle and then
Read MoreThe first design would turn half way and then stop because of the resistance of the back side of it coming into the wind. I then added a top disk and attached a number of 2-liter soda bottles and some 1-gallon milk jugs to a disk on top. With a stong wind I actually got the mill to spin if I gave it a start. It has to be the ugliest windmill ever

This will take some time and you can in fact ask the students to do this at home. Again, not all the students will be able to bring in 12 cartons so you should be prepared with extra and you can have their ends already cut off

Be sure to rinse away all soapy residue, then let the carton dry completely. For best results, use a 1 ⁄ 2 gallon (1.9 L) or 1 gallon (3.8 L) carton. Small, single serving milk cartons aren't large enough to use as birdhouses
