This project is catered towards the ELLs that I teach. I currently have 4 sections of ELL Science and would like to teach them the basics of gardening through hydroponics. Many of these students are on free/reduced lunch and do not know how easy it is to grow plants in their own home to make for healthier meals.
The hydroponic set and Biology coloring book would allow students to understand the fundamentals of nutrition, cell structure/function, photosynthesis and agriculture. Ideally, after learning about topics stated earlier, students will be able to take home what is grown for decoration and eating. Integrated into the units will be scientific processes such as collecting data, analyzing data to create graphs an drawing conclusions.
With this hydroponics and book set, students will be able to grow, care for and take home plants for a healthier lifestyle.
