Learning Goal Level 3: Understands how the 4 systems (spheres) affect each other.

Evidence 2: Tower Garden Systems

Evidence 3: Seedfolks storymap and garden sketch

Learning Goal Level 4: Create a model analogy of Earth systems and monitor its growth and development over time.

Evidence 4: Pond Systems: drawing and comparison to the tower garden

We will be growing seedlings using a hydro/aeroponic system- our Tower Garden.

Each student will explain the interactions that take place in order to successfully grow plants.

We will also build connections to our floating islands and agricultural practices.
