Makeshop Monday: An interview with Iliana Scott

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 Iliana. While the other students worked with partners or teams, Iliana ended up working alone due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite working alone, Iliana was really successful and enjoyed her project! 

ARC: What was your favorite part of the project?

IS: My favorite part  of the project was when i got to design the sail and make it how i wanted it

ARC: What was the hardest part of the project? What made it difficult?

IS: The hardest part was building the wheels because we didn't know the exact measure meant for the hole and how big the actual wheel is.

ARC: Did you like working on your car by yourself? Did it make the project easier or harder?

IS: I loved working alone because it was a lot easier and fun because I got to choose what I wanted to do with the car.

ARC: What is something you learned by doing this project?

IS: I learned that changing one variable effects the whole car no matter what variable you change.

Thanks for talking with us Iliana!
