Make Your Own Water Bottle Rocket: Build

This page is a template for converting one of your existing videos into a written guide. It uses the water bottle rocket build as the example, so the headings below follow a typical build. Rewrite each section from the video. The fastest way is to play it and write down what you do and say, step by step.

Step 1: Prepare the bottle#

Describe what you do first, in the order you do it. Keep each step to one action and say what the finished step should look like.

• Replace with a checkable action, such as "Remove the label"
• Replace with the next action

Link to the matching moment in the video with a timestamp, like this: 2:15. Once you add the video's ID to the front matter, that link opens the video at that second.

Step 2: Build the next piece#

Add a photo here with a short caption. Put image files in the content/images folder and refer to them like this:

![The finished fins taped in place](images/rocket-fins.jpg "Fins taped evenly, 120 degrees apart")

Step 3: Test and launch#

Say what a good result looks like and what to try if the rocket does not fly well.

Troubleshooting#

Write the most common problem here. Say what the reader sees, then what to do about it.

What is next#

If this video is part of a series, add series: and part: to the front matter and create a matching file in content/series. This page will then gain Previous and Next links.
