Synthetic vs. Organic: What We Can Learn From Plants

My students need a mobile growth chamber for long-term plant experiments in environmental science.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Long's classroom raised $1,364

This project is fully funded

The environmental science class is mainly composed of juniors and seniors that are very motivated by hands-on activities. Our school represents hope and success in a high-need community. The students take their education seriously and should be rewarded for their effort.

We have a limited amount of supplies for environmental science, and have made the most of it so far. The students have shown a real interest in plants and their contributions to their respective ecosystems. They have the desire to perform a relevant, long-term experiment on plants and the growth chamber is the perfect opportunity.

We are about to start a unit on organic agriculture. The students will design a lab to investigate quantitative and qualitative differences of synthetic and organic fertilizers. The growth chamber would provide a controlled environment to conduct this experiment. It would also present an opportunity to grow seasonal plants as a fundraiser and to start flowers and shrubs for the school landscaping.

The growth chamber is more than just lab equipment, rather it serves as a means to conduct a long-term experiment that would be the culminating project of the course. Students would get the opportunity to present their findings in a class setting and hone their scientific reasoning skills. It would be a chance for high school students to design and conduct complex experiment.
