Week 5 of reading the story of the race to the south pole

The Story Of The Race To

South Pole

I read an autobiography or a biography book

this week about Robert Falcon Scott.

He was an Antarctic explorer. Ms Kemp

my teacher helped me pick a book for

this week if you don’t know what autobiography or

biography it means a real life story. I don't have a

bit that I like the most about this book.

Laviona The failed Balloon Bottle Car

Lavonia The Failed Balloon Bottle
Car

               2020-2020 

                   Rest in peace 

This is the bottle car prototype. She was going to look better but we had  no time to         accessorize and this is why she looks like a piece of  recycling.

Things that went well: We got a bottle,
and managed to prepare something in the
limited timeframe we had. She participated in the two races.

Things that didn’t go well: Laviona’s
wheels didn’t move. She moved three inches
away from the ramp where we let her go.
Gravity pulled her down the ramp and air
resistance forced her to stop. The force of
the air resistance combined with the  non
working wheels and stopped her three
inches from the ramp. Her balloon
failed to push her even a millimeter.
The wheels were not aligned and were
working against each other.
