Urban Gardening Vs Hydroponics
by Amy Lewis
Students will be creating two different gardens. A hydroponics garden indoors and a raised bed garden outside. Students will be gathering data to help define the question: What is the biggest issue for the biosphere as humans consume limited resources. Students will test limited space and limited water in this experiment. They will do it indoors and outdoors to see if indoors or outdoors makes a difference in growth with those same factors.
