Explore hydroponics and explain its uses and limitations as a tool to help sustain human populations and manage natural resources. In this investigation, students design a solution for producing enough food for growing populations and the shift from rural to urban communities. They grow plants hydroponically in a modified ebb and flow system, analyze data from their hydroponic systems, and make recommendations about using hydroponics.<\/p>\n

Curriculum Connection<\/b>
\nWhile designed for a stand-alone earth science course, this series of activities could be incorporated into a high school biology course.<\/p>\n

Time Requirements<\/b>
\nTeacher prep, 60 minutes. Completing the activities, approximately 2 weeks\u20141 day to set up investigation 1 (60 minutes), periodic monitoring for 2 weeks (5 minutes per day), 1 day for investigation 2 (60 minutes), and 1 day for analysis (60 minutes).<\/p>\n

Digital Resources<\/b>
\nIncludes 1-year access to digital resources that support 3-dimensional instruction for NGSS. Digital resources may include a teacher manual and student guide, pre-lab activities and setup videos, phenomenon videos, simulations, and post-lab analysis and assessments.<\/p>\n

Performance Expectation(s)<\/b>
\nHS-ESS3-3. Create a computational simulation to illustrate the relationships among the management of natural resources, the sustainability of human populations, and biodiversity.<\/p>\n

Crosscutting Concepts<\/b>
\nScale, Proportion, and Quantity<\/p>\n

Disciplinary Core Ideas<\/b>
\nESS3.C: Human Impacts on Earth Systems<\/p>\n

Science and Engineering Practices<\/b>
\nUsing Mathematics and Computational Thinking<\/p>\n

Prerequisite Knowledge and Skills<\/b>
\nStudents should be familiar with the needs of plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
