Volcanoes and what not

We based our volcano on Mount Fuji and our group worked well together and got a lot of work done and had fun doing it. We made a cross section inside our volcano and added colors to the outside to make it look like mount fuji. We also made a poster with the three types of volcanoes on it and information about Mount Fuji.

boat race

Our first race didn’t go has planned. It took 20.45 seconds. We didn’t have a big enough sail, so it didn’t get very much power. We needed more weight on the back. It would have gone faster if we didn’t put the straws on the bottom because that made it drag. Some things we changed on our boat were putting a bigger sail on…and we took the straws off. We also added more weight to the back. We are hoping that the sail will add lots more power to the boat, and that putting more weight on the back will help the front to not go into the water as much.
