Plankton Grand Prix 2012

Here are two masters of plankton design, Joe & Patrick, in a head to head race. Patrick is the all around champ for this year with a time over three minutes, and Joe may be a winner on a technicality (technically it sank, but was still near the surface). 


 Plankton had to start sinking within one minute and sink slowly. Slowest sinker wins.

 Plankton want to stay near the surface for access to sunlight if they are phytoplankton and access to phytoplankton to eat if they are zooplankton.

Computer Lab Etiquette

You are in the computer lab to do work for this class. If you are not doing work, then we will have problems.

Do not pack up early. Work until the bell or until MsJ says.

SAVE OFTEN. And if you save to a key, also save it to your number. If you lose it, you will have to do it again.

If MsJ asks for your attention, stop what you are doing and listen to what she has to say.

You may watch videos about your organism through reliable websites.

You may listen to music through the computer if you have your own headphones. Rule1 MsJ cannot hear it. You get one warning. Rule2 Turn it on and listen – no million clicks and constant changing. Take both ear phones out when MsJ is talking.
