My Project

The Hydroponics Growing System Kit will provide our Pre-K students with a hands-on, immersive experience in science, sustainability, and responsibility. By observing the full plant life cycle from seed to sprout, they will develop a deeper understanding of how plants grow without soil.

With this Hydroponics Lab, we will be able to spark curiosity and wonder in our Pre-K students by bringing science to life.

Through this project, we will :

Teach early STEM concepts in a fun and tangible way.

Foster a sense of responsibility by having students help care for the plants.

Encourage healthy eating habits as they taste the herbs they grow.

Cultivate patience and observation skills as they monitor the plant’s progress.

Our Pre-K students are naturally curious, imaginative, and eager to explore the world around them. Their eyes light up with excitement when they discover something new, and they love hands-on activities that let them touch, see, and create. This hydroponics project will allow them to take ownership of their learning, nurturing not just plants but also their confidence and love for science. This project will plant the seeds for lifelong learning and environmental awareness by fostering their creativity and sense of wonder.
