This Lab-Aid incorporates a uniquely designed LAB-AIDS‚® transparent plastic culture chamber making the study of hydroponics stimulating and fun. Studentsclearly view the plants growing in a nutrient solution. This highly graphic and unique activity can be used by students in grades 4-12 individually or in groups. It is an excellent activity for science fairs or projects.
The following experiments are included:
- Seed germination time comparisons‚
- Plant growth time comparisons‚
- Effects of nutrient deficiency‚
- An understanding of hydroponics‚
‚
