Wommack’s innovative teaching idea, “Growing Science With Aquaponics,” focuses on expanding the school’s limited number of aquaponic tanks in the classrooms. With funds from the Voya Unsung Heroes grant, more tanks can be purchased, expanding the capacity for additional experiments and observations, as well as enabling more students to explore which plants grow best grow under different conditions. Since all students in the school come through this classroom, the project will support the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning interests of everyone there.
