What is Algae? | What are the uses of algae? | Learn about the different types of algae for Kids

Algae is all around us and has many important uses. But what exactly is Algae and what are the different types of algae? We will learn about this and more in this video all about algae for kids! Algae (alga is the singular spelling) are a type of plant-like living things
that make their food just like all other plants, from sunlight by photosynthesis.

Algae are commonly found living in the sea, oceans,
rivers, lakes, ponds, or even in aquariums. There
are two different types of algae: macroalgae and
microalgae. Macroalgae are something you are very
familiar with-- seaweed. Microalgae are referred to as phytoplankton. Micro- means very small, so think of them as small plants that
live in the ocean, rivers, ponds, or lakes.

There are many different kinds of Algae from Seaweed, to Brown, Green and Red Algae and all have different purposes that we explore in the video!
