Bioshelters and plant growth.
A more exciting way to look at growth in plants using aeroponics to enable experiments to take place at an accelerated rate and tests to be performed within the classroom and cover the basic principals
Incorporates: Plant cells Photosynthesis co2 H20 chlorophyll production temperature humidity electrical conductivity nutrient analysis, pH, seed germination plant stresses.
Activity :- Set up an aquaponics system and plant seeds for germination create your own indoor growing.
-
Plant Population.
Taking a deeper took into the reason for plants and how and why they reproduce in their various environments and the devastating potential of disturbing the natural balance.
Explores: Forced germination, cross pollination, pesticides, using hydroponics to turn barren land into farms and allowing small communities to become self sufficient.
Activity :- Take cuttings and plant next to seeds. Get involved with the Cambodia project and how choosing the right plants is essential.
-
Plant hormones.
Investigating the amazing regeneration of plants and their ability to be cloned bonsaied and supercharged.
Explores the effects of Auxins Giberellins cytokinins ethylene abscisic acid
Activity:- See how cut plant repair themselves investigate why they grow towards the light and how breakages and movement can strengthen your plants.
-
Genetics and clones.
Alternative look at selective breeding, GM crops and time old farming techniques combined with the latest advances in science.
Incorporates: Plant cells Photosynthesis co2 H20 chlorophyll production temperature humidity electrical conductivity nutrient analysis, pH, seed germination plant stresses.
Activity :- Set up an aquaponics system and plant seeds for germination create your own indoor growing
-
Recycling energy.
We can use the waste we create every day to sustain ourselves indefinitely by recycling. Using aquaponics to demonstrate how your own eco system will allow us to live without leaving footprints in carbon.
Looks at how integrated science allows extracing exactly what we need from nature in a way that it is of benefit to the natural cycle so we no longer have to use dangerous farming and fishing techniques.
Activity:- Build your own wormery create fish food and plant food from your waste make a small wind turbine to power your pump (optional see physics section).
-
Accelerated plant growth and food production.
Explores natural alternatives to manufactured feeds and pesticides and demonstrates the use of biodiversity interdependence and natural medicines.
Explores natural alternatives to manufactured feeds and pesticides and demonstrates the use of biodiversity interdependence and natural medicine.
Activity:- Take the plants from the aquaponics propagator and place them in the vertical grow behind take cuttings from them and place them in the propagation tank.
-
Looking to the future and changing our ways.
Challenging some of the methods that have become acceptable over the years and highlighting the need for change.
Explores alternatives to harmful additives and preservatives feeds and pesticides that plants are routinely subject to during there life cycle, unnecessary overfishing methods that are still accepted today and demonstrated the alternatives.
Activity:- Feed the fish some worms put some of the liquid at the top of your vertical grow.
-
Natural habitats interdependence.
And our continued ignorance adds to the devastating effects of the rainforests and other natural habitats, destroying unknown species and medicinal plants.
Explores the destruction of Peat bogs wetlands, rainforest Norfolk broads and eutrophication control and prevention along with coppicing reforestation.
Activity :- Balancing the nitrates creating an ecosystem Building a bio shelter.
-
Global Warming and ecological capacity.
We are running out of time to save the planet, the time for planning is gone the time for action is now.
Explores Pollution prevention harmful and beneficial light, renewable energy, innercity growing, vertical growing and the climate summit.
Activity :- Vertical grows, bio systems, carbon counteraction, Ozone generation.
-
Population explosion.
With the ever growing increase in the world’s population we need some answers to the questions and solutions to the problems but most of all a positive attitude because by changing our thinking we can change the world.
Further Explores bio shelters and expands into growing in outer space, interdependency, shopping local, self production and sustainability.
Activity :- Build your own bioshelter become more eco aware.
