1. An investigation to identify the organism, algae or water mold fungi, present in a water sample http://www.brainpop.com/science/scientificinquiry/scientificmethod/

5. More similar to animals Eat leaf litter in stream beds Attach to leaves SINK Intake O2 and exhale CO2 Live in flowing fresh water streams Live on stream beds (bottom) Reproduce by spores Microscopic

7. More similar to plants Need nutrients like Nitrogen (NO3-, NO2-) Make their own food PHOTOSYNTHESIS Need SUNLIGHT Intake CO2 and exhale O2 Reproduce by dividing Live in calm fresh and marine waters Float near surface Microscopic

8. X

9. Came from a freshwater sample Similar shape/ morphology Microscopic Similar size You know that these organisms are either fungi or algae…..but how will you determine their identities!?!?

10. Using the information you learned about water mold fungi and algae design a scientific experiment to determine the identity of the organism in your water sample Who am I?

11. FUNGI ALGAE BOTH Eat leaves Attach to leaves/sink Inhale O2 Live in flowing water Live on stream bottom Reproduce with spores Live in freshwater Microscopic Shape Make their own food Float Intake CO2 Prefer calm waters Live in surface water NEED light Reproduce by dividing Need Nitrogen
