Urban Gardening; Part IV: Outdoor Container Gardening vs Indoor Hydroponics: An Experimental Project
This is the culminating lesson in the series of lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth/production.
In this lesson students will apply the Engineering Design Process as they design and construct a space saving outdoor garden to securely hold the planters they created in lesson III. Students will learn about hydroponics, planting their own hydroponics garden and then using the Scientific Method, students will compare plant growth using both hydroponics and a traditional soil garden over an extended period.
