- Clean-up and set-up are quick and easy
- Data collection is simple
- Meets learning goals for Elementary, Middle School, and High School curriculum
- Aquatic systems research can be modeled in the classroom to represent nearly any system on the Earth
- Informs students on the importance of the Earths aquatic environment ( Algae Research and Supplies Mission)
