Algae Growth

Algae Growth is how tiny green plants in water get bigger and spread when they have warmth and light.

Think of it this way

Bread mold starts as a few tiny spots on a slice left in a warm, damp bag. Given enough warmth and moisture, those spots spread and cover the whole slice. Algae works the same way in a bowl of water by a sunny window. A few green cells grow into a thick green layer when the water stays warm and bright.

Explaining algae growth by grade level

Algae are tiny green plants that live in water. They need sunlight and warm water to grow. If the water gets too hot or too cold, the algae stop growing.
