ECOLIFE Aquaponics in TK/K STEAM Schools

Did you know Aquaponics is a combination of hydroponics and aquaculture? ECOLIFE Conservation in Escondido generously donated 27 ECO-CYCLE Aquaponics kits to 17 schools who are participating in the TK/K STEAM program this year. Students in Ms. Powell’s Kindergarten class at Holmes Elementary (pictured), are learning to grow fresh herbs while enjoying live fish in their classroom! The ECO-CYCLE turns their aquarium into a productive garden. The self-sufficient ecosystem uses fish waste to naturally fertilize the plants above. Thank you ECOLIFE Conservation for partnering with San Diego Unified to bring this unique learning opportunity to our classrooms!
