High School Resource: Hydroponics System
High School Resource
Hydroponics System
In this activity, students create an operational hydroponics system, using appropriate hydroponics theory and construction methods.
Activity:
- Students design and construct a hydroponics system, using the nutrient flow technique that allows successful germination and growth of the selected vegetable seeds. Correct design and construction methods must be used.
- Students collect daily observations for both the rate of germination and plant growth. They then summarize the results and conclusions of their design.
- Students present results to the class. Comparisons across systems will be made and will focus on system design and its impact on seed germination and plant growth.
