Project Goal

My goal is to teach my gifted students about sustainability by using an aquaponic system. 

 

How Project Benefits Students

My gifted students will l learn to save water, enjoy planting--
and growing all kinds of plants under one system-- They will learn a system that supports both soil and hydroponic methods of farming.
They will be able to observe through the clear subsystem container which is filled with water to maintain a hydroponic and aquaponic subsystem to grow leafy vegetables and raise fish.
Learning about aquaponic indoor garden and Create an aquarium by adding pet fish to the clear hydroponic subsystem container. One ecosystem is able to support up to 20 vegetables, herbs, or flowers. Vegetables can be harvested up to two more times if you have the stem and root. 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

Advanced self-contained ecosystem combining hydroponics, traditional soil gardening, aquaponics, self-watering, and efficient plant-growing lighting system With a combination of Hydroponics and potting soil, there are no planting limits; grow whatever you want. Self watering and timer controlled growing system, grow whenever you want, in any season. Create an aquarium by adding pet fish to the clear hydroponic. Separate hydroponic/aquaponic and traditional soil gardening subsytems. Built-in water filter pump for hydroponic and aquaponic subsystem. Grow healthy herbs, vegetables, and flowers indoors, any time of the year. Low Maintenance and energy costs. Self watering wicking system for traditional soil gardening subsystem. Timer controlled LED lighting spectrally engineering to enhance plant growth. Just add soil, water, and electricity. Save water, save time, enjoy planting... The planting system is easy to set up and maintain, no need to water plants for up to 10 days; through capillary action, the microfiber carries 200cc of water daily to hydrate the potting soil for your growing plant. With the built-in timer system, you can leave home for 10 days without worrying. Large Growing area... Each growing system is able to support up to 20 vegetables, herbs, or flowers. Vegetables can be harvested up to two more times if you leave the stem and root. Note: The roots of certain kinds of flowers, plants and herbs may spoil when soaked in water.
