Assembling the globe
Cut out the northern hemisphere base. Use scissors to cut out the center hole. Cut out the center by first cutting with scissors along the red line connecting the center to the exterior.
After cutting out the hole, glue the reinforcement to the reverse side, taking care to ensure it doesn't obstruct the fold lines.
Reinforce the thin tabs near the top, using a brush or other implement to apply glue from the reverse side.
Cut out the northern hemisphere A and northern hemisphere B parts and glue together using the central tabs.
Glue the northern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere base so that its shape is semispherical. To fit the parts together correctly, gently fold the tabs inward, then align the latitudinal lines on the surface while holding the northern hemisphere base down with your finger and pulling gently on the tabs. Assemble the southern hemisphere in the same way.
Globe : Assembly Instructions
1
Attach the stand base bottom to the stand base, folding each of the tabs.
Cut out the sides of the stand and assemble as shown in the illustration.
Combine the stand base with the stand assembled in step 1. Complete the stand by curving up the gluing surfaces of the stand sides, then gluing these in place.
Gluing locations on stand base
Attach the center hole plate to the northern hemisphere to fix the paper core in position. Attach in place by aligning the blue lines on the center hole plate to those on the northern hemisphere base.
Align the Americas, Africa, and other continents when attaching the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere.
Before assembling the base into a three-dimensional form, indent the globe core hole.
Make a mountain fold.Make a valley fold.
Glue in place along the curves of the stand sides.

Roll the moon stand and glue the tab.Assemble the moon by gluing the tips of the other five parts to the hexagonal area. Glue the side tabs after first gluing the tips into position.
Assemble the globe core. Roll this part using two new (or long) pencils. Roll tightly, until it's around 1 cm in diameter, then glue it together.
Insert the globe core into the stand, then place the globe in position from above.

Place the moon measuring tape directly in front of the globe stand and position the moon on the spot shown on the tape to get an idea of the distance between the earth and the moon. A look at the spots shown on the tape shows how surprisingly close to the earth satellites and the space shuttle orbit.
Place the moon at its designated location.

Assembling the moon measuring tape
The moon measuring tape showing the distance between the earth and the moon is available as a separate file. Use it as a teaching aid or for other purposes.
Earth's surface Earth's axis
Assemble all 23 parts in the same way, then glue them to each other in sequence, beginning with part 1, so that the measuring tape can fold up.
Fold inward along the fold line, then glue both interior sides together.

Editor
Some 4.6 billion years ago, gas and debris swirling around the fiery sun coalesced to form a sphere. As the layers of gas and debris finally separated and condensed, they formed small planetesimals, which repeatedly collided and combined with each other. These events led to the formation of the earth and the other planets in the solar system. The young earth was constantly impacted with planetesimals, the energy of these blows superheating areas near the surface of the earth and creating seas of magma. When the seas of magma finally began to cool, rain began to fall, condensing from dense water vapor and carbon dioxide released from the magma, forming the primordial seas.
Life first appeared in these primordial seas some 4 billion years ago. Multicellular organisms appeared 600 million years ago; human ancestors appeared 5 million years ago.
The sun and the moon are the heavenly bodies most familiar to those of us here on the earth. The moon formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago from the combination of fragments that broke off when a meteor the size of Mars struck the young earth. The moon's diameter is about one-fourth that of the earth; its volume is around 1/50. It revolves around the earth at a distance equivalent to about 40 times the earth's diameter. Use this globe not just to look at the earth's continents, but to get a feel for the actual distance between the earth and the moon.
