Ordering the Algae  
The science inquiry in this unit requires using a healthy algae culture.  A ready to use culture of Chlorella vulgaris may be ordered from Algae Research Supply. This particular stock has proven to be very dependable for use in the classroom.  
 

  • When ordering the algae, consider how much you will need for each team of 4 children. Each team will need 2 bottles with 88mL (3oz) of the algae in each for the investigations. (A total of 177mL or 6oz. for each team)
  • Bottles for the culture can be purchased from Algae Research Supply, or alternatively, you can use new, clean 8oz. empty water bottles.
