Bringing Science to Life With Hydroponics Gardening

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Witkowski's classroom raised $400

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These hydroponics garden supplies will have a remarkable impact on my class by offering an exciting and hands-on way to learn about plant growth and sustainability. With these supplies, our classroom will transform into a mini-greenhouse, where students can experiment and observe the growth of various plants without soil.

This engaging learning experience will not only teach us about the science of plant biology and nutrient cycles but also instill a sense of responsibility and care for the environment.

The thrill of watching our hydroponic garden thrive and produce fresh, healthy vegetables will encourage curiosity, teamwork, and a deeper appreciation for the importance of sustainable agriculture in our modern world. These supplies will turn our classroom into a living laboratory, making learning fun and inspiring our young minds to become future environmental stewards.
