Plankton Wars

Our class had a plankton WAR!!!!!!! We all were teamed up and started to design the ultimate plankton; I was pair up with Matt. Our plankton had a flat blue clay head it was flattened to give our plankton more surface area and prevent it from sinking. Two tooth picks was stuck inside the head to make a body and a sponge piece was attached to the other end of the two tooth picks. Then we attached aluminum foil to the bottom in shape of 2 flippers also to keep it from sinking to the bottom. However our design worked a little too well because according to the rules the plankton had to sink below the surface of the water  and lasted the longest before hitting the bottom. Ours floated, enough said.
          So first place went to another team; Karen and Morgan won the war. Their plankton had a flat red clay head and two tooth picks sticking out and a small piece of sponge at the bottom. The sponge was wrapped in aluminium foil which may have possibly stopped the sponge from absorbing and keep their plankton from sinking. Their plankton had a mini pink plastic sword attached to it which might have helped weigh it down so it didn't turn out to be a floater like ours.Also the plankton they made had googly eyes.
