Next steps- add controls. Mr. P will get plants ( mint, basil) to begin planting. Adjustments were made to the pumping system using a less powerful pump, which runs on 12V-- will need a power supply.
Students added hydroton clay pellets to the system. When done, pellets are surrounded by water, but not floating.
How can we get students to redesign system to make it more cost-effective and modular? People stick to what they have done in the past.
