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.

This is a series of lessons where students will observe natural activities in the garden for five days. From the observation, they will identify the factors that have high probability of causing
Students will begin the year working with a hydroponics system to observe plant growth. To start the students will be given a seedling and determine what the plant is as it goes through the life cycle
This lesson takes this classic story and opens a door to the science that is hidden in what is happening in the environment. Students will dive into what a lion is, and their ecosystem. Art is also
