Hydroponics
Students will utilize household items to grow plants from seeds using a nutrient-rich water solution. Without traditional soil, students will pick a vegetable, and use a simple hydroponic method as a way to begin building a food garden.
The Energy Coalition will send you a growing medium (coconut coir or gravel), aluminum foil or construction paper, seeds (leafy greens or tomatoes), and plant nutrient additives to bring this lesson to life.
