Content Description
As the former science teacher and current 3rd grade teacher, I would appreciate using a windowfarm in the classroom to compliment the FOSS Environments kit that we currently use. I have noticed that my 3rd graders learn more when they are able to work with hands-on materials but also when a project is in the room that they can revisit often vs. doing it once and then it goes away.

Learning Outcomes
Students will apply the scientific method to hydrofarming and will impact their reading, writing and science goals positively.

Assessments
Informal observation, group discussions, science notebooks
