Short Post

My plants are beginning to take off.  I have, in the past few days, really began to notice a difference in their growth rate.  Below, I took pictures of plants from the starting trays next to plants in the aquaponics system.  All of the plants started at the same time!


My preliminary qualitative and quantitative data is promising!

Teaching Moment:  

Qualitative Data: Data that deals with descriptions that can be observed but not measured (ie. colors, tastes, smells, textures, appearance)

Quantitative Data: Data that deals with numbers that can be measured (ie. length, height, volume, mass, speed, time, temperature, humidity, sound levels, cost, etc..)

Broccoli, both started at the same time. The one on the left is in the aquaponics raft.

Lettuce, both started at the same time. The one on the left is in the aquaponics raft

Can you see the small plants in the tray that were started at the same time as all the ones above in the raft?

Notice the dark green

Here is the underside of one of the rafts.  The root systems are coming in.

Although not the greatest picture, this is the same plant from our last post.  What a difference!

More to come......
