The students become real-life botanists, observing how their plants grow without soil. Every day, they excitedly check the green beans, lettuce, spearmint, and peppermint, learning firsthand what plants need to thrive. This project teaches them about critical scientific concepts like photosynthesis in a more engaging way than a textbook. It's not just a lesson about plants; it's a living experiment that shows them how dedication and daily observation lead to excellent results.\r\n\r\n\r\nBeyond the science, our hydroponic garden teaches responsibility and teamwork. The students work together to care for their plants, understanding that each one plays a part in the garden's success. As they watch the tiny seeds they planted grow into vibrant plants, they develop a sense of pride and accomplishment. This project helps them connect with nature in an urban environment and shows them a fun, new way to think about where our food comes from. It's an enriching experience for the entire class.","fullyFundedDate":1746753426663,"projectUrl":"project/growing-food-in-the-classroom/9224573/","projectTitle":"Growing Food in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5732318_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534938336664","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5732318"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_84901","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":322,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":47,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":68,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.7,"schoolId":84901,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maumee Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maumee Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/maumee-city-school-district/wayne-trail-elementary-school/84901"}
