Abstract
The study of hydroponic systems has been utilized as one of the standard methods for plant biology research and commercial crop production for many years. It offers an alternative agriculture technique in which plants and/or crops grow in a water-based nutrient system, rather than soil. In this research, we present a hydroponic step towards sustainability that can easily be implemented in laboratories and especially in K-12 classrooms to assist students and teachers. This approach aimed at providing a method for teachers to use within their classroom in hopes of engaging students in learning and doing so in a cheaper and more convenient way.
