Basic Ag students are learning about soils! Students learned how to identify sand, silt, and clay by observing a soil sample. Students then set up a soil sample in a jar by adding water and shaking. Once the jar sits for a few days, the layers of sand, silt, and clay will settle. Students will then measure them to find the percentages and determine the soil texture! #4theT #CTAEdelivers #LetsGrowTogether
Horticulture students conducted a lab activity to learn effective watering techniques. Students watered a flat of soil over cups to see how watering techniques affect overall water absorption in the soil. Take a sneak peek at the plants they are raising for a plant sale! Hope to see you March 18-19! #4theT #CTAEdelivers #LetsGrowTogether

Students in Ms. Day's Intro to Cybersecurity class got hands-on experience comparing common computer operating systems thanks to Cyber.org and their partnership with CISA (Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency). With access to virtual machines through Cyber.org, students explored operating systems beyond those installed on their physical computers. Some worked inside a Windows virtual machine, while others experimented with both text-based and GUI (Graphical User Interface) operations on different systems. This interactive approach gave them a deeper understanding of how various operating systems function in real-world scenarios!
