Senior School Learning

Science

The last few weeks have seen our grade three and four students learn about the upkeep and care of our new aquaponics system.  We also continued to investigate heat and are keeping records of the temperatures of our hothouse, aquaponics system, compost and garden.  We will use this information to make modifications to our garden, compost and hothouse for optimal production.

Our grade five and six classes were also introduced to the running and upkeep of the new aquaponics system at school.  The grade five and six students are responsible for monitoring the levels of pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates in the system.  They are conducting a range of tests to monitor this data and make sure our fish and plants are in a safe and productive environment.  Fingers crossed our fish make it out alive!
