        Save it to 2025 - 26 > Science > 01 Thermodynamics
    3. Populate part 1 with information from your design, budget, rationale, and pre-test documentation
  2. Part 2
    1. Open this template
    2. Make a copy
      1. File > Make a Copy >

      2. Save it to 2025 - 26 > Science > 01 Thermodynamics
    3. After tomorrow's test, populate part 2 with pictures and information about your device's performance
5. Submit clean copy of your design; your instructor will scan it
6. Put final touches on heat shield
7. Work on part 1 documentation: dimensions, special features, mass
