After a year of virtual learning, we have realized that the best way to teach science is through hands-on experiences. Our school has a greenhouse that has not been renovated since it was built and has not been utilized as a learning space due to the accumulation of debris, inoperable thermostat, etc. With some in-house repairs being made, we are looking to revitalize this space into an active and engaging learning environment for our students to explore, observe, and analyze. In the past few years, we have a large interest among our students in Environmental Science and have recently introduced an AP Environmental class in addition to a chapter of the NYS Science Honor Society. Our students are eager to participate and to "get their hands dirty" in learning! Let's help them get there by having this project funded! Currently, our greenhouse is being used for very simplistic growth and growth monitoring. With the introduction of a weather station and a thermometer into our greenhouse, we not only can monitor the factors that affect and sustain plant growth, but our students will be able to analyze, observe, and conclude the best conditions for their plants and variables such as humidity, temperature, wind, weather forecasting, etc. will be used when testing areas of best growth as well as the effects of changes in these variables throughout the year. Additionally, we will be planting various species of plants to eventually move them into our courtyard outside of the greenhouse and the analysis of such factors will provide the students knowledge and insight into when and where these plants should be placed within the courtyard for best growth. The fan and hose with accessories is to support our student projects within the greenhouse by promoting proper air flow and accessibility to water.
