Asteroid 14

Explore Asteroid 14. What will you find below its surface? (See end of instructions for one thing you will find.)

Step 2

Cut out the fourteen pattern pieces by cutting on the black lines around edge of each piece.

STEP 3

On each of the fourteen pattern pieces, fold the green lines as valley folds and the red lines as mountain folds.

Step 4

On each of the fourteen pattern pieces glue Flap A to the other Flap A.

Step 5

Connect Parts 1, 10, and 3. Do this by gluing Flap C on Part 1 to Flap C on Part 10. Then glue Flap D on Part 3 to Flap D on the project, and Flap Q on Part 3 to Flap Q on the project.

Step 6

Attach Parts 11, 4, 2, and 9 to the project. Do this by gluing Flap E and Flap R on Part 11 to Flap E and Flap R on the project. Next glue Flap U and Flap F on Part 4 to Flap U and Flap F on the project. Then glue Flap 9, Flap V, and Flap W on Part 2 to Flap 9, Flap V and Flap W on the project. Finally glue Flap G and Flap O on Part 9 to Flap G and Flap O on the project.

Step 7

Attach Parts 6, 7, 14, and 8 to the project. Do this by gluing Flaps J, K and B on Part 6 to Flaps J, K, and B on the project. Next glue Flaps Y, N, and L on Part 7 to Flaps Y, N, and L on the project. Then glue Flaps 5, X, and 11 on Part 14 to Flaps 5, X, and 11 on the project. Finally glue Flaps P, H, and S on the Part 8 to Flaps P, H, and S on the project.

Step 8

Complete the project by attaching Parts 12, 13, and 5 to the project. Do this by gluing Flaps T, 8, and 1 on Part 12 to Flaps T, 8, and 1 on the project. Next glue Flaps M, 2, and 3 on Part 13 to Flaps M, 2, and 3 on the project. Finally glue Flaps 7, Z, 4, 6, 12, and 10 on Part 5 to Flaps 7, Z, 4, 6, 12, and 10 on the project.

Another Example

One thing you will find is a tetradecahedron of the irregular truncated octahedron variety.
