Hey Randy,

This stuff that you’re talking about would be great Agriscience projects for your students and they would be worthy to compete on the national level.

1. Economics between soil and hydroponic (Plant Systems category)

2. Building your own hydroponic systems (Power, Structure & Tech Systems category)

You could even get kids to partner up and help each other, then some kids take ownership of one part, and other kids take ownership of other parts.

Do you have kids that are interested in science and competing in science fair? I’ve got a firm grip on what it takes to have success on the national level, which also means those students will be able to compete at the National Convention in Indianapolis next October.

Hey Randy,

Height doesn’t necessarily correlate to health, example if the plant is leggy then it’ll be tall but not healthy.

I might look at percentage of germination rate, time to germinate, size of leaves, and maybe color. Color can be tricky, so you might look at creating a color chart to put a numeric value to color.

You’ll always get 2 leaves initially…well, if you have dicot seeds, lettuce is dicots. You could also look at time till true leaves emerge.

Hope this helps.
