Introduction

In the 1930s, Dr. William F. Gerick coined the term "hydroponics," which means water-working.  Hydroponics can be described as the science and practice of growing plants in a water/nutrient-mixed solution instead of soil.

Hydroponically grown plants generally require less water and are more productive, healthier, and can grow faster than plants grown in traditional soil environments.  The ability of the grower to carefully control and monitor important plant needs provides the optimum conditions for growth.

The Hydroponics PAC, uses practical hands-on experiments and the latest in hydroponics systems to teach students about the field of hydroponics.  Students complete various lessons while cultivating science, math, and reading skills.  They also study subjects such as nutrient concentration, pH, growing medium, plant needs, light requirements, and much more as they discover the many aspects of this soilless culture.
