Growing our Agri-Future through Ag in the Classroom

Hydroponics
Materials:
One large container
One small container
One piece of cut bandana material

Later you will need:

Small amount of soil
Lettuce seed
Water
 
1. Once you have all of the materials you will start by writing your name on the outside of the large
container, date and what you will be planting.
2. Then you will take the bandana material and slide it through the hole in the small container.
After you make it pull through the hole tie a loose knot at the top (this is to stop the soil from
going through the hole and into the bottom container)
3. Next you will need to place some soil about 1/4 of the small container full (don't add too much
soil)
4. Now you will add the lettuce seeds by making a small indent in the soil and covering lightly (you
may need to add a small amount of water to the soil)
5. Then you will fill the large container with about 1/4 full of water (fill more when you get home if
needed)
6. Place the small container inside the large container for your hydroponic system.
