Materials:

Instructions:
- Cut a piece of coloured paper into a rectangular shape, about 8 inches by 4 inches.

- Cut a fish shape out of the folded paper, leaving about 1 inch of paper at the top to form the head of the fish.
- Unfold the paper to reveal your fish shape.
- Use the ruler and pencil to draw a line down the centre of the fish, dividing it into two equal parts.
- Cut small slits into the centre of the fish, about 1/2 inch apart, stopping about 1/2 inch from the head and tail of the fish.
- Repeat steps 1-6 to make as much soap-powered paper fish as you like.
- Dip each fish into the soap and water mixture, making sure it is fully coated.
