Advanced Nutrient Lab Kit – Explore Plant Nutrition Through STEM & CTE
The Advanced Nutrient Lab Kit transforms hydroponic learning into a STEM-driven, data-rich experience, allowing students to conduct real-time, multi-tier nutrient comparisons. By testing different nutrient solutions across three levels, students engage in critical agricultural research, connecting concepts from biology, chemistry, environmental science, and data analysis—all core pillars of STEM and Career & Technical Education (CTE).
STEM & CTE Concepts Explored:
✅ Biology & Plant Physiology – Study nutrient uptake, deficiency symptoms, and root development.
✅ Chemistry & pH Management – Analyze how pH affects nutrient availability and plant health.
✅ Environmental Science & Sustainability – Explore nutrient efficiency and resource conservation in hydroponics.
✅ Data Science & Experimentation – Track growth metrics, document changes, and interpret results.
✅ Precision Agriculture & AgTech – Understand how commercial growers optimize feeding schedules for higher yields.
✅ Food Science & Nutrition – Investigate how nutrient levels influence plant taste, color, and quality.
What’s Included in the Kit?
- (200) Q-Plugs – Ensures a uniform starting point for scientific comparison.
- (300) Red/Green Seeds – Allows for color-based nutrient effect studies.
