3. Students practice reading a thermometer. Explain that room temperature is about 70Â°F. Using your transparency and a red marker, color the bulb and column part of the âtubeâ up to the 70Â°F mark. Let students ï¬ nd the 70Â°F mark on their page and use a red colored pencil to color up from the bulb to that mark.
The majority of organisms classified as protists are unicellular though there are a few multicellular organisms. For example, kelp (âseaweedâ) is technically a protist even though it is multicellular. Kelp is not grouped with plants, however, because it lacks the cellular complexity present in plant cells.
Kelps are large seaweeds (algae) belonging to the brown algae (Phaeophyceae) in the order Laminariales. There are about 30 different genera. Kelp grows in underwater forests (kelp forests) in shallow oceans, and is thought to have appeared in the Miocene, 23 to 5 million years ago. The organisms require nutrient-rich water with temperatures between 6 and 14 Â°C (43 and 57 Â°F).
