In 8th Grade, the hydroponic grow tower is a cross-curricular project combining reading and science. Mrs. Gehring and Ms. Sides' Reading Class is reading the book Seedfolks, and the students are also growing their own lettuce without soil! Using a nutrient-rich water solution, the tower circulates all the water and nutrients the plants need to their roots. Each week, students are teaching plant growth, testing water pH, and recording their data along the way. 💚🤍
