My Project

For last year's Science Expo, quite a few of our 6th and 7th-grade students did experiments using plants. Once the Expo was over, they wanted to continue to care for their plants in the classroom, but we didn't have the appropriate setup.

This Grow Lab tower will be placed in an easily accessible corner in the classroom so that students can care for their plants easily throughout the school year.

We chose this particular tower because each level is height-adjustable, allowing for more experimental options.

With our trout tank in one area, our geology space and plants in another corner, and our slowly growing tech/physics corner, we will be well on our way to transforming a regular classroom into a science lab.
