My Project

I plan to Integrate the hydroponics aquarium into my existing curriculum across various subjects. For example, students will write reports and create presentations on hydroponics, conduct experiments to investigate the effects of different nutrients on plant growth, and explore the environmental benefits of hydroponic farming.

Lessons will center around hands-on learning activities that allow students to interact with the hydroponics aquarium.

This will include planting seeds, transplanting seedlings, pruning plants, and feeding the fish.

These activities will not only reinforce academic concepts but also foster a sense of responsibility and ownership among students.
