Aquaponics is the cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment. A combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, aquaponics pairs fish and plants in one integrated system. Fish waste provides a food source for the growing plants and the plants provide a natural filter for the water the fish live in. This creates a sustainable ecosystem where both plants and fish can thrive.

The workshop includes:

- 2.5 days of hands-on teacher training in aquaponics

- A complete classroom aquaponics kit including tank, filter, pumps, planting materials and an operating manual

- Standards-based aquaponics curriculum materials that will engage and motivate your students
