Synopsis

This lesson introduces students to the benefits of an aquaponics system, especially in areas where clean soil and water are scarce. 

 

Step 1 - Inquire: Students answer questions about what plants need to grow and make predictions about what an aquaponics system is.

 

Step 2 - Investigate: Students learn about aquaponics systems by watching videos and having a discussion.

 

Step 3 - Inspire: Students set up their aquaponics system in the classroom and create journals for recording predictions and observations.
