Greetings--
The hydroponics hype is underway!!!
Hopefully, you have already heard about this, as students have been created blueprints, revising ideas, researching types of systems and their pros and cons as they consider what would best work for their building location.
The final project is due next Friday, December 16.
Classes have been spending time in engineering groups, revising ideas, integrating new ideas, and going deeper into topics about hydroponics use. In addition, they are using sites to ensure they are solid on information on plant parts--form and function in an effort to maximize growth of their plants.
Materials were sent yesterday to student engineers as they "shopped" in class--seeds, tubing, some pumps, and root riot/rock wool, plastic net pots, etc. Students "shopped" according to their material needs for their designs.
The rubric was sent home yesterday (on paper) and was shared via Google Classroom.
Attached to that on line, is a graphic organizer (handed out today), that will help compile final ideas after/during the planning and building process.
Looking forward to some innovative designs!
Ms. Tuttle
