MICROGRANT PROJECT ABSTRACT
Issues addressed: Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Environmental Science, Agriculture
Topic: Increasing authentic science in the classroom
Rationale: My goal was to enable students at all levels of science to collect data that was previously either impossible or very difficult to obtain. I was also able to purchase a hydroponic system that will support an initiative to have students grow some of the food that is served in the school cafeteria.
