A glassware set is necessary in any science course. While agriculture might not be seen as a science, there are many aspects of science in the agricultural field. Animal and veterinary science, environmental science, plant science, and soil science are huge parts of agriculture education. This glassware set is necessary to effectively learn about any of these sciences, but in my classes they are most useful within the plant and soil science disciplines. Many topics in these units require measurements of distilled water and chemicals, and it is difficult to be accurate without these measuring tools. Within these units, there are many experiments that need to be performed in order to understand soil properties and the physiology of plants. Without these tools, it would be extremely difficult for students to complete these labs. Plant and soil sciences are extremely important to understanding agriculture and how we use both to create food, fiber, and flowers. This glassware set is a valuable tool that allows students to understand soil properties such as soil texture and porosity, as well as plant physiology such as water uptake, transpiration, and photosynthesis. With the information presented in these units, students will be more interested in these careers fields, as well as more prepared to enter college or the work force in these areas. Not only that, but they will be more informed about their food, where it comes from, and the necessary tasks farmers have to perform to ensure they are able to provide for the world.
