My Project

Our class has a hydroponic garden and we would benefit from a utilizing a fan to promote increased circulation in the room. The circulation will benefit the plants as well as keep air moving and decrease the humidity that can harm the growth of the plants. The students can activate and deactivate the fan as well as learn the scientific benefits of using the fan for optimal hydroponic usage and the learn the increased benefits. Students will utilize fine motor, gross motor, visual perceptual, visual motor, executive functioning skills, bilateral coordination skills for utilizing the fan for the garden.
