High School, grades 9 through 12

High School Engineering Design

Algae do more than half of Earth's photosynthesis. Measure it in your classroom.

High school engineering asks students to weigh solutions against criteria, costs and tradeoffs. A dose response test on brine shrimp and a look at algae as a fuel and product source give them real numbers to weigh.
