    Objectives:

    ● Conduct an investigation to
    determine if plants can grow
    without soil.
    ENGAGE: (Do now!)
    What do plants need to grow well?

    • Room to grow
    • Water
    • Nutrients from the soil
    • Light
    • Carbon dioxide and oxygen from the air

    Do you think plants could grow without soil?

    Yes! Growing plants using hydroponics is growing them


    without soil.
    Watch the following video for a more in
    depth explanation on what hydroponics is

    EXPLORE: Carry out the investigation

    How can you grow


    plants without soil?
    Watch this experiment and
    learn how to create your very
    own hydroponics system

    EVALUATE: (EXIT TICKET)

    INFER What would happen if you put the plant in a dark


    closet? Why?

    Either the plant will not grow or it will wither and


    lose its green color, because it needs sunlight for
    photosynthesis.
    EVALUATE: (EXIT TICKET)

    ANALYZE: What are the main parts of a


    hydroponics system? How is matter such as water
    and air transported into, out of, and within the
    system?

    The main parts of a hydroponics system are the plant,


    the water with nutrients, and the light source. The
    plant takes in water and carbon dioxide. Light energy
    is used to change these materials into sugar and
    oxygen. Oxygen is given off by the plant. Sugar is
    used by the plant as a source of energy.
    Lesson Summary
    ● Hydroponics is the technique of growing plants using a
    water-based nutrient solution rather than soil
    ● The main parts of a hydroponics system are the plant, the
    water with nutrients, and the light source.
