High School, grades 9 to 12
Biology (General and College Prep)
Living algae and brine shrimp for the core high school biology course.
Students grow algae and brine shrimp together and measure what happens. They see photosynthesis and respiration balance, watch a population grow and level off, and track microplastics moving up a food chain.
