  • Science Expo

    Funded May 9, 2022

    Thanks for your generous donations that will help my students to satisfy their curiosity in the science field by applying what they have learned in the classroom and conducting real-life experiments that are related to their lives and others. We My students and I appreciate your time, help, and support,”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Shetia

  • Nutritious Microgreen Feed US Mentally and Physically

    Funded Aug 25, 2020

    Thank a lot for your generous donation to my science class project. I am very excited to start this project based learning with my students, specially during the blended learning schedule that may cause anxiety to our students. I am sure that my students will be very excited to learn by doing not just reading or listening. It is a beautiful thing for my students to learn how to grow their own food and engineering new ways to grow microgreens in their homes in a short period of time. My hope that growing microgreens in the classroom will increase their caring and passion about living things and add welcoming healthy environment for my students to look forward to come to the school.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Shetia

    This classroom project was brought to life by Con Edison and one other donor.
  • Build Best Model To Increase the Hatching of Brine Shrimp

    Funded Nov 2, 2019

    and Dear Mott Hall II Families,

    Thanks a lot for your generous donation for the science project. Our scholars and me are thankful to make this project come to life. We are very excited to launch this project as soon as the materials delivered to our classroom and will keep you updated with the our progress.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Shetia

  • Greening Our City!

    Funded Nov 16, 2018

    Students were able to obtain skills in growing and caring different plants. Having access to the Farm GrowWall had increased students' engagement to nature, since the students were able to have a hands-on experience. Hydroponic grow lab enabled students to recognize another way to produce plants. The Farm GrowWall had also performed a large part for many science projects completed by the students. The GrowWall gives emphasis to the necessary variables a plant needs.

    The Farm GrowWall is placed next to our fish tank, bearded dragon enclosure and hermit crab tank in the classroom, emphasizing nature conservation in our classroom.

    At least each of the five classes, a group had compared the traditional way of growing a plant in soil, to the growth of the hydroponic plant, for their science projects.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Shetia

I am going to use the OPCOM Farm GrowWall to create a long-term investigation that will help my students to connect their theoretical understanding of scientific concepts to the real world. My students will investigate different approaches to growing our food in urban areas through using hydroponic methods vs. using traditional farming methods. This will help them to visualize how their food grows in urban areas and will encourage them to build a model of their own hydroponic system on various scales (in test tubes, in jars, in a fish tank, etc.). In addition, this investigation will illustrate genetic variations within a population, carrying capacity, nutrient cycle, biochemistry (measuring pH level, nutrients etc.), as well as evolutionary relationships between different plants.
