    Step 2: Define the Problem
    • Record the problem statement in your Engineering Notebook.
    • Hydroponics Problem Statement:
      Determine whether plants grow better in soil or a hydroponic system. The purpose of this experiment is to grow lettuce, basil, and radish plants in two different conditions to determine whether plants grow more rapidly in soil or in Hydroponics. Seeds will be started in both mediums and growth will be measured daily 
    Step 3: Research & Explore Ideas        on Agriculture & Hydroponics

    4. Name the different types of hydroponic growing medium.
    5. Which medium do you think we will use for our project?
    6. Is PH important in a Hydroponic System? Why?
    What Plants Need
    1. What nutrients do plants need to thrive/survive?
    2. How do aquatic plants get the nutrients the need in the wild? 
    3. How do plants get what they nutrients when grown in soil? How do they get nutrients in a hydroponic system?
    4. Why is sustainable agriculture important to the long-term survival humans? 
    How to Build & Maintain Your System
    1. Research the 6 basic types of hydroponic systems using the internet. Define/Describe how each system works in 1-2 sentences.
      1. Wick system
      2. Water culture system
      3. Ebb-and-flow system
      4. Drip system
      5. Nutrient-film technique
      6. Aeroponics system. 
    2. How are hydroponic systems maintained?
    3. List the materials needed to build a Water Culture Hydroponics System. 
    4. Define the functionality of each part listed on your materials list  in 1-2 sentences.

    Tuesday: February 19th
    Thursday: February 21st
    Tuesday: February 26th
    Thursday: February 28th

    2. Calculate the average growth for the hydroponics plant and the soil plant. Use the growth rate formula below. You can see the average daily growth rate by taking the change in size and dividing it by the amount of time it has been growing.
    • The equation for the growth rate formula is (S2-S1)/T
    • where S1=first measurement, S2=second measurement, and T equals the number of days between each.
    3. Which plant grew at a faster rate?
    4. How tall is each plant?
    5. Which plant is the tallest?
    6. Was the tallest pla nt also the plant with the fastest growth rate?
    7. Based on your data, describe which system of growing is the best in 3-4 sentences. Be sure to reference measurements and plant appearance in this statement
