Each year, 6th grade science students study convection currents and how they work in Mrs. Pointek's class. They put all of this knowledge to work and design a convection-current-fueled car called a Puffmobile. Today we are talking with Emily and Keira, the teammates from Crazy Convection Crew. These ladies won first place for fastest car for the Puffmobile Project! Way to go ladies!
ARC: What was your favorite part of the project?
E+K: Our favorite part of the project was seeing how our car improved everyday in different ways.
ARC: What was the hardest part of the project? What made it difficult?
E+K: The hardest part was trying to get the axle in the right position so it would move correctly and stay straight in the lane.
ARC: How did you choose your team name?
E+K: Our name crazy convection crew, was created because Keira and I are both crazy, we did convection because we were learning and creating convection currents, and crew was so our name rhymed
ARC: What do you think made your car so fast? What design elements helped you win?
E+K: We think our car went so fast because our axle was pointed at the top and also because our sail was curved [on the] inside.
ARC: What is something you learned by doing this project?
E+K: We learned how to make convection currents using air. We also learned more about convection currents and how they work.
Congrats on your win ladies! Great job!!
