August Box Theme – from Groovy Lab in a Box
August’s box is Water Works – A Lesson in Hydroponics!
In the Water Works box, your children will explore different types of hydroponic systems, seed germination, and photosynthesis! Build a water reservoir, test tube bean stalk, drip irrigation system, a groovy space barn and much, much, more! Practice essential 21st century science skills: pipetting, measuring volume and length, making observations and collecting data.
Design Challenge: The Mars Colony astronauts need to grow their own food. Using only the materials from your Groovy Lab in a Box, can you design and build a hydroponic garden prototype that can be used by future astronauts at the Mars Colony?
As always, the Water Works box will have a groovy Lab Notebook where your kids can read about the investigations and Engineering Design Challenge. Plus, all subscribers get access to the Beyond…in a Box web portal for additional learning and fun.
