A detailed list of recommended tools and materials will be provided upon enrollment, and our instructor will offer guidance on where to purchase these items. Majority of items will be household products that are easily accessible. If you do not want to purchase the other items, labs will be filmed and available for you to view. 

Get what you put into these classes. If you want a simple open and go curriculum then you have it. If you want tests, activities, experiments, reading, math application, writing opportunities, and additional resources then you have access to those as well! Choose what you want to do and what works best for your family.

Is everything in the classes required for me to do?

• NO! Research shows that excellence is created through the inward passion of learning a topic. So classes are designed for students to be able to have a great foundation of exploration for each unit. They can watch additional videos, read books from our Ultimate Book List that pertain to that particular subject, or have kid friendly websites that they can explore for more information (with your supervision and permission of course). Tests, writing opportunities, additional labs and activities as well as related topics are also included and they can be used as much or as little as you and your student would like. 

What background knowledge is required for this course?

No specific background knowledge is required to enroll in the Plant and Soil Science course. This course is designed for students of all levels who are interested in agriculture, horticulture, or environmental science. Whether you are a beginner or have some prior knowledge, our comprehensive curriculum and experienced instructors will ensure you gain the necessary understanding and skills.

What kind of fieldwork will be included?

The Plant and Soil Science course includes a variety of hands-on fieldwork activities designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge with practical experience. Students will participate in soil sampling and analysis, plant growth observations, and field experiments on nutrient management and sustainable farming practices, providing a real-world context to the concepts learned in the classroom.

How can this course benefit my future career?

Completing the Plant and Soil Science course will equip you with a solid foundation in key environmental principles, making you well-prepared for various careers in the agricultural or environmental sector. You can pursue roles in farm management, agronomy, soil conservation, environmental consulting, and research. Additionally, the skills and knowledge gained from this course are essential for those interested in advancing sustainable farming practices and contributing to environmental stewardship.
