Lesson of the Week


DIATOMS!
-Diatoms are one of the oceans producers or the bottom of the food chain.
- They make their energy from sunlight. That's right photosynthesis.
-They are like two glass (SiO2) dishes put together with an oily glycerin filling.
- Diatoms can't swim they use their glycerin to change bouncy.
