Plankton creation
Instructions: to construct a model plankton using your choice of the materials provided. Goal is to produce a creature as close to neutrally buoyant as possible.
Plankton
We had to have as much weight on both sides to keep it neutral.
1st trail:floated 2nd: floated 3rd: 4 4th: 5 5th: 5
It went down in a shorter period of time then i expected.
It stayed there above average then the other classmates,
Plankton stays up because that is were there food is, but goes back down to avoid predators.
Plankton move around by using there flagella or swim bladder.
The best plankton was better designed to keep it more neutral then ours.
If it was performed in salt water it will be more denser.
Planktons great factor is there flagella to help them move around, also to control their buoyancy.
I learned how plankton live and know what they are and how small they are and other microscopic creatures.
