My Project

Do plants need dirt? In the Greenhouse Classroom at my scholars are willing to try anything. This year, my students are learning how to grow plants in water and soil in our Hydroponics Lab and our World of Wonder Children's Garden. My students are getting hands-on experience in exploring, investigating and conducting experiments. This is why we need the necessary tools like microscopes, magnifyers, and stools so that my students can be successful. We need science materials in emelentary school. Help me spark the interest of our future Farmer Scientist.
