High school Biology has expanded to include ecology and ecosystems to the curriculum and the STEM program put emphasis on hands on learning. It will be real world gardening using techniques that involve an aquarium and its fish to grow the plants. This gives the kids a real life visual on the cycling of nutrients and organic gardening. The Aquasprouts Garden Kit will create two ecosystems for the kids to monitor and analyze. Lessons from the data retrieved, such as PH level, growth measurements, water conditions will serve to reinforce learning objectives. The resulting plants will also support the classroom pets, including two desert tortoises( Pebbles and Peaches) and a guinea pig (Pixie). The kids love these little guys.
