Under Pressure Competition

Hi Sea Fans!

I came across this cool competition where you can learn about pressure under the sea (it's run by the Deep Earth Academy which is part of the JOIDES Resolution - the people I'll be meeting next year who explore what lies beneath the ocean floor!).  All you have to do is make an artwork out of polystyrene/styrofoam and send it to them and they'll take it down to great depths to see what pressure does to it. 

An example of what you can do and how the pressure affects the polystyrene.
It sounds like good fun so why not enter?!  Check out the website for more details: http://joidesresolution.org/node/2108


Have a great week Sea Fans!
Cheers
Abby
