My Project

This amazing hydroponic plant growing system is an awesome way to learn about the growth of plants. I teach 5th grade science and my students always struggle with the understanding of photosynthesis. Since this hydroponic system has a clear bottom, students will be able to watch as the seed makes roots and then watch as the plant and it's roots grows bigger and bigger.

This hydroponic plant growing system will give my students a complete visual of how photosynthesis works by watching the growth of plant roots through the clear bottoms.

Science teachers love a visual aid!
