We then began work in the hydro lab, topping up water and addressing a pH issue with our storage buckets. Remember that you need to print the last page from the Learn360 activity and hand it in to receive credit.

Today we began talking about food waste and hydroponics. Soon, we will be beginning a project regrowing plants from kitchen scraps. To start this, we watched a CBC documentary (link below) on food waste in grocery stores and in homes. After, we briefly talked about different ways that food is wasted. For the lab portion of today's class, we refilled the newly cleaned buckets with water, trimmed back any larger plants, completed our measurements and topped up the water.
