Learning outcomes
What Students Will Gain
Through guided exploration and hands-on activities, students will develop a clearer understanding of:
Microalgae Growth
Understand the basic conditions microalgae need to grow.
Photosynthesis
Explore how microalgae use light to support photosynthesis.
Real-World Applications
Discover how microalgae are used in everyday life and different industries.
Science and Sustainability
Explore the relationship between biological processes and sustainability.
Observation and Recording
Practise observing changes, recording findings and asking scientific questions.
Research and Environmental Solutions
Understand how scientific research can contribute to addressing environmental challenges.
A Journey from Discovery to Hands-On Learning
Discover the tiny organisms that make a big difference
Students are introduced to microalgae, its basic biology and its role in ecosystems. They learn what microalgae are, how they grow and why these tiny organisms are an important part of the natural world.
Explore the conditions that help microalgae grow
Students explore how microalgae interact with light, nutrients, carbon dioxide and their surrounding environment. They learn how these factors influence growth and help them understand the relationship between living organisms and their environment.
Bring science to life through hands-on discovery
Students take part in guided, hands-on activities that bring scientific concepts to life. Through practical exploration and observation, they develop a clearer understanding of microalgae and the science behind its growth.
Connect knowledge with a practical learning setup
Depending on the workshop format, students explore or assemble a simple microalgae learning setup. This activity helps them connect what they have learned with a practical example and understand how the different components support microalgae cultivation.
Keep observing, exploring and discovering beyond the workshop
Learning continues beyond the workshop through follow-up activities or take-home learning kits, depending on the programme. Students can observe changes over time, revisit the concepts they have learned and continue exploring microalgae through ongoing discovery.
