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. This week we are interviewing team that designed the second-fastest Puffmobile: the Mixtape Masters, Erik Studebaker, Calvin Laurenson and Christian Cropper. Their car was so well designed that it came in second place!
ARC: What was your favorite part of the project?
E+C+C: Our favorite part was working with friends and building our car.
ARC: What was the hardest part of the project? What made it difficult?
E+C+C: Making the wheels was the hardest part because they wouldn't move.
ARC: How did you choose your team name?
E+C+C: We thought it was creative and a fun name.
ARC: What do you think made your car so fast? What design elements helped you win?
E+C+C: The aerodynamic shape of the sail.
ARC: What is something you learned by doing this project?
E+C+C: How to work as a team and combining our ideas together.
Thank you for your insights guys!
