My Project

Teaching kids about hydroponics can be a fun and engaging way to introduce them to concepts of agriculture, sustainability, and science. Setting up a working hydroponics system in our classroom will provide my students with a real-world experience that illustrates how plants can be grown without soil in limited spaces. My students will set up a classroom hydroponic system using the tower hydroponic grow system to grow an edible garden. My students will be responsible for maintaining the hydroponic garden and monitoring plant growth. Through this hands-on experience, my students can observe the growth process first-hand, observing how plants respond to their environment and the importance of light, water, and nutrients.

To encourage students to share what they have learned, each student will create a mini hydroponic system, using simple materials like plastic bottles, net pots, and nutrient solutions to take home and share with their families.

Teaching my students about hydroponics not only helps them connect with nature but also encourages a sense of responsibility toward creating a more sustainable future.
