- Grow bigger, faster and without pesticides or preservatives
- Hydroponics requires less fertilizer, produces less waste, and reduces the carbon footprint
WHY: Educational
- Practice science vocabulary in a more visual, hands-on way
- Compare and contrast seedling planted in soil and in water
- ID parts of a plant and talk about life cycle, photosynthesis
- Journal in a notebook or via video log
- Oral presentation skills - share what they are doing with others
- Possibilities for coding and other activities using computers and technology
