Soilless Gardens and the Future of Food
This hands-on lesson is for the use of a hydroponic system. Tower gardens were the systems used, however, if budget is a concern, there is a very affordable option in the plan as well using tanks. Students will need one tank or tower to grow mycorrhizae and fertilizer plants and the other tank or tower for just fertilizer. The mycorrhizae and fertilizer used are both soluble in water and good for hydroponic systems. Many believe that hydroponics will be used for future farms on Earth and is already used in space. However, more testing towards how it will be used is needed.
This lesson can be used as an introduction to carbon sequestration, multiple biogeochemical cycles and sustainability/ food/ agriculture.

In this project, students will choose an environmental problem to research. They will look up why this problem is occurring and how it is harming the environment. Students will then come up with two
More VR integration in the classroom, oh my! This is the second lesson of a two-day exploration of chain reactions. On day one, students received a general overview of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of electric power to design a model circuit that expends less electrical power. They do this by using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC and they may
