Theater Game: "The Good, the Bad, and the Bountiful"

Mini microbiologists play a card game in which they group microorganisms by groups: virus, fungus, protist, or bacteria. Then they identify the roles different microbes play in the natural world and explore how humans effectively use...

Lesson plans and experiments to investigate organisms that cause Red Tide, and diseases that are caused by harmful algal blooms. Background information is provided.

Students research the possible sources and human health effects of microbes found in recreational and drinking water. They explore the range of negative outcomes of contact with contaminated recreational and drinking water by creating...

Sometimes the little things cause the most damage. Scholars watch a video in the ACS Reactions playlist to learn about algal blooms. They listen to an explanation about how these blooms form and how they are harmful to people and the...

Algae is a good thing, but too much is a bad thing. In this environmental science fair project, grow algae in several concentrations of fertilizer and observe its effect on algal growth.

Harmful algal blooms occur when algae, which form the base of the ocean food web, grow in massive numbers and produce toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds. In this project you will learn how to...

This NOAA computer-based activity is designed to teach students in grades 9-12 how satellite imagery and remote sensing can be used to monitor harmful algal blooms (HABs). This lesson teaches students how to read and interpret satellite...

This resource over cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) explains what blue-green algae is, what blooms are and how they are harmful to livestock, how people and animals are effected by exposure to this algae, and more.

Explore how scientists use satellite data to detect and monitor Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). HABs can be toxic to both humans and marine life. Students will learn how to read and interpret satellite images to better understand HAB events.

Students examine the Biology topic of plant-like protists. The tutorial includes definitions, examples, and pictures about algae.
