There is a project that you can only use 3,5 cm x 3,5 cm piece of aluminum foil and you need for it to hold a penny for 30 seconds in water. I have try everything but nothing is working. If anyone could tell me what is the best shape and if it will work I would be very happy. Its really hard for me

Like this?
Fold the edges of the foil up the width of the penny (about 2mm). This gives you a 31x31x2mm "boat". Mine's been floating for 30 minutes.
