Makeshop Monday: An Interview with the Unstable Air Mass Crew

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 talking with 3rd-place team the Unstable Air Mass Crew - Anna Neiss, Maggie Pappas and Zoey Miller . Congrats on such a fast car ladies!

ARC: How did you choose your team name?

A+M+Z: We were studying air masses and Maggie thought that we were crazy so we were the Unstable Air Mass Crew

ARC: What do you think made your car so fast? What design elements helped you win?

A+M+Z: Our sail had a unique design so that it collected air in all different eareas to push the car.

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

A+M+Z: We learned how to work as team very well.

Thanks for talking with us!
