Plankton Race

Our assignment was to create "plankton" with the given materials that stayed afloat for as long as possible. The most challenging part of the assignment was constructing a plankton that could sink at a slow rate. It was easy for us to create a floating structure, but it took a while for us to figure out how to make something that could sink (at a slow pace). Our plankton ended up taking 10.25 seconds to sink.

If I could change the design of our plankton, I would make it flat with larger surface area so it would sink slower. However, it was fun to experiment with the different supplies to see what did and didn't work.
