My Project

We will be creating an experiment to find out if plants grow stronger and healthier when they listen to relaxing music or without. We also will experiment with a hydro garden to learn about how plants can grow without soil.

I am requesting a watering system, seeds, speakers and planters that allow students to see what is growing under the soil.

We also will watch as a plant grows through the maze looking to reach the sunlight.

We will create a chart that we will monitor the growth of the plants and track which plants grow stronger, healthier, faster and produces more food.

We are using STEM to make this project come to life, we are going to be growing vegetables, herbs and fruit throughout the winter months using a greenhouse.
