2017 Agriscience – Nutrition of Chicks Lab

Agriscience students conduct an experiment determining the effect of different protein levels of feed on the growth and development of baby chicks over a two week period. The chick groups are identified and separated into two brooders. One group receives 18% crude protein and the other group receives 16% crude protein. The chicks are weighed daily and the data is graphed and analyzed.

2017 Agriscience – Specific Heat Lab

Agriscience students conduct experiments calculating the specific heat of various samples of metal. The students calculate the calories used by the metals to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius.

2017 BSAA Plant Science – Effects of Temperature on the Germination of Seeds

BSAA Plant Science students get to play “doctor” while checking seed samples for germination rates. Seeds are placed in cold, room, and warm temperature environments to compare the effects of temperature on the germination of wheat, oat, popcorn, and soybean seed samples. The moist seed samples tend to have a pungent odor.

Happy Holidays 2016

The only way I can become immortalized on the walls of the high school.

The gift that keeps on giving the whole year through!

2016 Agriscience – Leaving the Leftovers Lab

Agriscience class set up an experiment that determined the effect of crop residue on water infiltration into the soil profile. Students discovered that crop residue mixed into the soil allowed more water to infiltrate the surface reducing runoff and erosion during a rainfall.
