Field Trips
Your students will enjoy an interactive STEM-oriented tour that covers a variety of scientific and technological disciplines. Not only will they learn about aquaponics, all of the science that goes into creating a successful system and the technology that supports it, but they will also learn how we are bringing this sustainable food solution to vulnerable communities around the world.
We have tour options ranging from 1 hour to 2 1/2 hours. Topics and learning modules will be adjusted depending on tour length.
1 hour: 2 Modules:
1 1/2 Hours: 3 Modules
2 Hours: 4 Modules
2 1/2 Hours: 4 Modules and a lunch break
​
Your students will learn about:
o Aquaculture (fish)
o Bacteriology (bacteria and multiplication)
o Engineering system design (system design, pumps water flow)
o Thermal dynamics (geothermal system and high pressure foggers,
heating/cooling water)
o Architecture (design plans for greenhouse and systems)
o Chemistry (water/ph/amendments)
o Horticulture (plant growth)
o Food Safety (pathogen transfer)
o Hydrology (irrigation and movement of water)
o Environmental Mitigation (water and resource conservation)
o Meteorology (greenhouse temperature and humidity)
o Technology (automation)
o Business (social enterprise and ethics)
