Plankton Race

The most difficult part was getting a "plankton" to sink. Our "plankton" would float forever and never drop below the water level because of the little amount of surface tension it was getting.

If I could start this over again, I would build it similar to the group next to us that used less materials and created a much larger surface area which really slowed it down when it sank.

The best part of this activity was the ability to create your own unique way of getting a "plankton" to sink as slowly as possible. Everybody's was different and had different times, so there was many options to take during this activity.
