Workshop Information

Can plants really grow without soil? Hydroponics challenges children to rethink what plants need by exploring a growing system where water and nutrients take the place of traditional soil. Children investigate plant roots, resources and growing conditions while considering how water, nutrients and support structures help plants survive. The workshop encourages observation, comparison and problem-solving as children explore why hydroponic systems can be useful in places where space, soil or water are limited. By connecting plant biology with sustainable technology, Hydroponics shows how scientific understanding can influence the way we grow food and use resources. Perfect for early learning, primary schools and OSHC groups looking for a practical sustainability and plant science experience. Beyond the Beanstalk brings the specialist equipment and workshop resources to your service for approximately 60 minutes of hands-on STEM discovery.
