NSU University School Middle School Students Mentor Lower School Students

NSU University School second grade students recently took an “on campus” field trip to the Middle School to learn more about aquaponics. Our Middle School students had the opportunity to teach the second grade students about the care and work that is involved in maintaining the aquaponics systems that are located in the Middle School courtyard area. Middle School students demonstrated how they analyze and measure the plants, observe the fish, and test the water quality to understand the important relationships between the fish and the plants. Learning about aquaponics is one example of mentoring opportunities that USchool students have, teaching younger students and learning from older students
