In Mr. Riley's Introduction to Agriculture class, students nature, local water sources to determine their quality for living organisms. The lives of aquatic plants and animals rely on the quality and stability of the water in which they live. Several simple tests can help determine the quality of water. These tests include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and total dissolved solids. Pictured- Kaitlin Lindsey and Sunel Rios begin the testing process by readying the sensors and equipment. Maelynn Smith and Jennifer Ramirez use the sensors and equipment to evaluate the quality of the water sample.

The Coronavirus couldn't stop Huntington University's Dr. Lance Clark from inspiring future broadcasters and filmmakers! He made a virtual visit to share some great tips and tricks to creating engaging videos as well as showing students video highlights from former Tigers who are now Foresters.
