Hydroponics in the Classroom begins with germinating seeds, so that's what we'll explore in this video. Why build a hydroponic system in the classroom? It's a PERFECT real-world application of math and science concepts. Watch the steps for germinating seeds and think about all the math concepts that are occurring while we work. 

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR GERMINATING SEEDS:
*Seed tray with dome lid
*pH balance kit
*1 quart water with pH of 6.0-6.5
*1-inch rockwool cubes (at least 1/2 for each tray space)
*Pelleted seeds
*Cross-gripping tweezers
*2 quart bowl
*Cutting device for division of rockwool cubes

MATH IN GERMINATING SEEDS:
*Multiplication & Division: The number of seeds needed for the spaces of the tray; number of rockwool cubes needed; How many seeds of each type for each hydroponic system?
*Capacity: Measuring the water; measuring the pH
*Fractions: Division of the plant labels; division of the rockwool cubes
*Elapsed time: When will the seeds germinate? When will we need to plant them?
*Addition & Subtraction: How many seeds for each row? Each column? 
*Estimation: How many seeds are left in the seed container? How many seeds will be probably be needed?
*Measurement: Date started, date germinated; height of hypocotyl and cotyledon; width of seedling
