Algae Project:
Part 1: There are three types of algae: Brown, green, and red. Read this article (Click Here) to answer the questions below.
1) What is another name for marine algae?
2) How tall can algae grow?
3) What kingdom are algae found? How is this different from plants?
4) What basic characteristics do plants and algae have in common?
5) How are algae different from plants?
6) Complete the table in performance task.
Part 2: Kelp (aka seaweed) is an example of brown algae. On a sheet of paper, draw and label all the major kelp parts below. Take photo of completed work and upload in performance task. No, you can't take a screen shot of picture or print out picture and upload in performance task for credit!

Part 3: Read the information above and write in the performance task the function of each major part labeled in the picture above. The only part not described is the gas bladder. You will need to research the function of this part online. In the performance task, also fill in what structures in land plants are similar to each part. For instance, the holdfast is similar to true roots in land plants. Since land plants don't have a structure similar to a gas bladder, you can leave this section blank.
Part 4: Draw the Venn Diagram below on a sheet of paper then write in the similarities and differences of kelp and land plants. You must have at least 3 characteristics in EACH part of the diagram. Once finished, take photo of work and upload in performance task.
