Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue attire (e.g., Americana) to show support.

The Ag Lab is a mobile agriculture education science lab, complete with all supplies and a certified teacher, travels to a different elementary or middle school in Pennsylvania each week. The lab is designed to target grades K through 8. 

Normally, a 40 ft. trailer, provides space for student partners to complete with heating and air conditioning, the mobile lab contains 12 work stations. However, due to the COVID virus, the lessons will be brought to the individual classrooms where cleaning, disinfecting, and cohorting can be done. Each station provides space for 2-3 students to complete hands-on experiments. The lab accommodates up to 25-30 classes per week, by teaching (5-6) 50 minute science classes per day.

The science curriculum taught meets Pennsylvania Department of Education Science & Technology and Environment & Ecology Standards and is endorsed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The children perform hands-on science experiments, each teaching a lesson in agriculture. The experiments performed include equipment and supplies not readily available to classroom teachers and are of a nature that most teachers wouldn't want to tackle in a traditional classroom setting. Each science experiment is designed to emphasize a different aspect of agriculture, including Pennsylvania's primary commodities, the environment, biotechnology, food and fiber, etc…Children work cooperatively to solve a problem as they form a hypothesis, collect data and draw conclusions.

In an article titled "CDC removes guidance pushing for school reopenings amid COVID pandemic saying ’new scientific information has emerged’" the author provides information regarding in-person learning in schools. The article continues by citing from the CDC the benefits of in-person learning. We at NCA are extremely encouraged by this!

No appointment is needed, and this is open to ANYONE who wants to be tested.  There is NO COST for this test and we’d ask that you please bring a Photo ID and/or Insurance Card.
