The ThinkQuest Linked below really caught my attention because it relates to a topic that many secondary students are quite familiar with: High Gas Prices. This ThinkQuest explores algae bio-diesel as a possible relief from dependence on fossil fuels. I think this would engage students because many of them have to work during high school to pay for things such as gas. This project would explore different species of algae and how they produce the fats and oil that are extracted and processed to produce the bio-diesel. I feel that it would be easy to incorporate into many units while covering content such as photosynthesis or the formation of fossil fuels.

Please provide more detail about this project? What are the learning goals? What will students actually be doing during the project.
