🧠 Hydroponic Idea Sort

Children examine 3 teacher-prepared picture models for a water garden, such as a cup with roots in water, a bottle planter, and a sponge-and-net cup setup. As a class, they use picture cards for water, light, safety, and less waste to sort which ideas match the class design brief best. Students practice saying one reason a design helps a plant and one reason it is safe or good for the environment.
