The future of farming is here and your children don't even need to wear crazy futuristic space overalls! Actively using the science of hydroponics, your children will grow and eat food they farm themselves with the Wild Science Future Farm. Hydroponics is a unique and interesting method of growing plants in water, and it doesn't require any soil! Contained within see through bio-domes, the hydroponic plants give your children the opportunity to learn about Earth Science while observing and analyzing the life cycle of plants and how the water cycle affects their growth. Since plants usually pull vital nutrients out of the soil, the Future Farm has a cleverly designed wick feeding system to distribute liquid nutrients to promote healthy plants.
While fully engaged in this interactive, hands-on, Earth Science activity, children will use the included lab equipment and chemicals to create their own liquid nutrients to feed the plants and promote healthy growth within the habitat. Maintaining pH balances is another important part of healthy plant development, so Wild Science includes the necessary tools to purify the water and balance the pH levels as well. Children will even learn about propagating the plants, which means taking part of the existing plant and replanting them to create living clones of the parent plant! If your children can transfer this knowledge for use in your home garden, you may never have to visit a nursery again!
Future Farm includes the following items:
Ages 10 and Up.
