Case Studies
Hydroponics
Students in the Ag Biology course at Kerman High School found local resources to grow 88 heads of lettuce using 35 gold fish. They learned all of the bacterial breakdown of Nitrogen and the Nitrogen cycle and were able to incorporate what they learned to monitor the plant health and the fish health. Students learned about the nitrogen cycle, water quality assurance, and raising fish and growing food. They also learned the basics of testing for water quality through a closed system and maintaining the appropriate nitrate and ammonia levels.
