Demonstrate Energy and Matter Transfer in an Ecosystem with an Algae and Zooplankton Kit!!! 

Our mission is to save the planet by teaching the next generation about aquatic science.  We have assembled this kit to minimize cost for you and maximize value to your  students to hit as many standards as possible. 

Grade Levels:  K-12 (seriously, this is the launching point for a bunch of standards)

Topics / Demonstrations / Experiments:

• Photosynthesis vs Irradiance plotting (high school)  
• Growth rate as a function of light (middle school)
• Energy transfer from primary producer to grazer (4-12)
• Nitrate removal due to photosynthesis
• Behavior, phototaxia (brine shrimp respond to light) (middle school- high school)
• Secchi stick vs Spectrophotometer plots (high school)

 This kit will 

If you purchased all these things separately the cost would be $232.
