My Project

I teach at a newer all boys, public STEM school. We are adding to our school community garden this year and we have purchased a hydroponics fish tank to grow food as well!

These materials will be used to grow plants in our school garden and to help us keep up a hydroponics fish tank to learn how to grow food without soil.

These activities will help us learn where food comes from, what plants and fish need, what happens to our food after it goes bad, how things decompose and so much more! We also plan to have a plant sale to help raise money to grow our garden so the soil will help us do that and start seeds for our school community garden.
