This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
The hydroponic garden system will provide students with a unique opportunity to explore plant growth in a controlled environment. By observing the growth of plants without soil, students will gain a deeper understanding of the role of nutrients, water, and light in supporting plant health. This hands-on experience will bring science concepts to life and engage students in meaningful inquiry-based learning.
My primary goal is to provide students with hands-on learning experiences that foster curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Through the exploration of plant growth in a hydroponic garden, students will engage in inquiry-based learning and develop a deeper understanding of scientific concepts.
By learning about sustainable gardening practices and the importance of environmental stewardship, students will develop a sense of responsibility towards the planet. Through hands-on experiences with gardening, students will learn how to make environmentally conscious choices and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Gardening promotes social-emotional learning by providing opportunities for collaboration, teamwork, and communication. Working together to care for plants fosters a sense of community and belonging among students, while also teaching valuable life skills such as patience, empathy, and resilience.
My students are curious, creative, and eager to learn. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of unique perspectives to the classroom. They thrive in hands-on learning environments where they can explore, experiment, and discover new things. With their enthusiasm for learning and willingness to embrace new challenges, our students are sure to excel in the exciting journey of gardening with a hydroponic garden.
