High School, grades 9 to 12
Agriculture Science
See what fertilizer runoff does to water, one flask at a time.
Students add fertilizer nutrients to living algae and measure the bloom. They trace nitrogen and phosphorus from farm to water, test how chemicals affect growth, and look at algae as a crop for fuel and products.
Where it fits
