This problem examines the growth of algal blooms in Chesapeake Bay. Students build an exponential function modeling algae concentration based on the information provided, and gain an appreciation for the exponential growth exhibited despite an apparently modest growth rate. Aligns with F-LE.A.2, F-LE.A.4, and F-LE.A.1.c.
