Students in the Des Moines FFA were challenged to create a digestive system from household items. But with a twist.. a smashed banana mixed with colored water had to make its way through the students digestive system.

Today is the first day of our week long middle school camp. 16 students from across DMPS are coming to learn about plants and animals. Students learned about showing sheep as well as xylem and phloem in plants today.

Day 2 of Ag Camp was full of pig dissections and flower arrangements. Students learned about the internal anatomy of pigs and then learned how to make an arrangement to take home.

Day 3 of camp included learning about animal feeds, egg quality, pest management in a greenhouse, and how bumble bees operate. That’s a lot to pack into a Wednesday!

Last week we were able to do a virtual tour with all 1st-8th graders at the Science Center of Iowa. Later in the week we went to the Science Center to do an egg lab and a scented geranium lab with the older students.

This last week we had our first FFA meeting of the year and our first meeting in person since 2019. Officers talked to mew members about what FFA can do for them as well as doing a team building game.

This last week we had our first FFA meeting of the year and our first meeting in person since 2019. We celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by eating papusas and talking about the significance of the month.

Big thank you to Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences for hosting the entire Des Moines Ag program for the day! #isu It is safe to say we have some future Cyclones and agriculturalists eager to impact our world.
