This project investigates how environment such light and nutrition interacts with Chlamydomonas and Euglena, a type of green algae. The research is to examine how different conditions affect the algae's movement and density. This will involve feeding the algae and keep them in a laboratory condition, collecting data, creating journal with drawings and photos, and providing a brief introduction the findings. [[File:Neginetevideo.png|Test for the installation/ small model|center|frameless|648x648px]]This installation highlights the fragility and sensitivity of some of the most valuable single-celled organisms for humans and the environment. It offers an interactive experience that explores the relationship between the algae and light, providing an educating insights to this tiny-looking detail of science that some biologists dedicate years of their lives to study this essential species.
