Plant Science students are investigating soilless media properties by designing their own experiment to test soil-like properties.
Biotech Students are harvesting DNA from strawberries; however, the real task is creating and writing the lab procedure / protocol prior to performing the lab. They also are applying their calculation skills and learning proper storage procedures.
Ag Research and Development students have chosen a project for the year that will answer a question / solve a problem, completed a brainstorming activity, created a problem statement, identified project and experimentation constraints, found publication resources, and are now performing a feasibility study for possible problem solutions.
The AFNR and Plant Science students are seen below working together to harvest lettuce. These students, and upperclassmen, planted seeds, transplanted, and maintained them to be used in the Culinary Arts program. This program operates Tradwins, our school restaurant, and is hosting an event this week for our CTE Advisory Committee members where our lettuces will be used in meals being served during this event.
