Students have conducted experiments on soil composition, and irrigation systems, gaining real experience with data collection, observation, and environmental science. They've also explored engineering by designing trellises, irrigation systems, pest barriers, and even experimenting with different hydroponic setups.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the garden has given them countless opportunities to practice the scientific method through real-world trials where they can adjust variables, solve problems, and see the results of their decisions unfold in real time. This kind of learning has made science more engaging, meaningful, and empowering for every student who steps into the garden.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting a project that helps our students grow not only as learners, but as curious, capable young scientists and engineers.","fullyFundedDate":1760129933335,"projectUrl":"project/school-garden/9771587/","projectTitle":"School Garden","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jackson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10293402"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59853","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1091,"numTeachers":56,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":58,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":31,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":59853,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Three Oaks Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Three Oaks Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/the-school-district-of-lee-county/three-oaks-middle-school/59853"}
