Algae Observations

The temperature outside was fifty-seven degrees. The wind was blowing very strongly and the sun was shining brightly. The class walked into the woods to the creek to look for algae. There were several sitings of algae. Some algae was bright green and some was a dark green or brown. Some algae was thin and stringy or leafy. Some algae looked thick. Some algae looked mossy and long. Some of the algae spotted was also found in the lake. The brighter algae was found in the creek, where the darker algae was found in the lake.
