Welcome to my Aquaponics Blog!
Aubrey’s Aquaponics Blog
Hello, I am Aubrey, I’m in 8th grade, and I’m 13 years old. I go to an environmental charter school in Wisconsin, and we have an aquaponic system in our school. We set up an Aquasprouts garden so we can have fresh food for the classroom and have a fun learning opportunity.
I really like aquaponics because it can be easy to start learning about it while still being fun to learn. You can grow fresh food on your desktop for you, your family, or to donate to your community or people in need. It’s also a really great way for people to learn about science. I love how much you can do with aquaponics, yet how easy it can be to maintain.
Part of the reason I like aquaponics so much is because of how much time I’ve spent around aquaponics and how many experiences I’ve had with it. My mom took a job with Nelson and Pade, Inc.® when I was 6, and I’ve loved it ever since. I used to love to feed the fish and seed and harvest lettuce in the green house. My school now has an aquaponic system, so I’ve been surrounded by it for most of my life. I can remember going on business trips with my mom to see aquaponic systems all around the U.S. and how much I loved seeing how different yet similar all the systems were.
I’m very excited to write more on this blog and expand my experience with aquaponics. I want to teach other kids and schools about aquaponics so they can learn and have fun just like I do. I hope that people will find this blog and share it with schools so they can have a better way of learning about fish, science, and aquaponics, and learn the responsibility of taking care of an aquaponics system, fish, plants, and all.
Feel free to leave a comment or ask a question below. I am happy to answer.
The implementation of an aquaponic system in schools is a great way to teach students about sustainability, the environment, and the food cycle.
It not only teaches them valuable knowledge, but also allows them to take part in creating something. That can benefit the school and community.
By having an aquaponic system in their schools, students can learn how to become more environmentally friendly and use their newfound knowledge to advocate for change in their communities.
We have four black skirt tetras, which are very common in aquariums.
What kind of fish do you have in your classroom system?
