Marine seaweed is of great importance to coastal and nearshore environments. In this lesson, students learn about seaweed classification and the products algae is used in. Students will also extract carrageenan from seaweeds and then use the extract to make their own ice cream!

Labs taught at Project Oceanology take place over 2.5 hours so this program plus one additional lab of your choosing will be taught.

Labs taught at your location will take place during the school day. The timing will depend on the number of classes/sections in your grade level or course. One lab program is taught per visit.
