How to make a flying rocket by using papers?

In summary, the person has been asked to participate in a Science Fair and needs to make a rocket. They can find instructions on a NASA website and can buy model rockets at a hobby shop. However, they can also ask for film canisters at a photography shop and they are usually free because they recycle them. The person should make sure to ask for the correct type of canister.
