The Food for Thought is a project to promote healthy eating and growing organic food instead of eating processed food. To promote healthy eating, the Science Club (I'm the only member) thought of the idea of making a sustainable garden meaning it can survive without supervision. We thought of many ways to make the garden sustainable like a "Warka Water Structure", Vermi-Composting, etc. All of these ideas sprouted into bigger and better ideas. These ideas became reality when we brought it to our Humanities and Chemistry team. The plan we decided to go with is a Aquaponic system. An Aquaponic system is a sustainable garden used with fish. The fish are stored in 2 barrels with a constant flow of water. The fish produce ammonia. Ammonia is what feeds the plants. Pipes are connected to the barrels with a motor to bring the water and waste to the planter bed. The plants are not planted in soil because it will just be a mess so we chose to use grow stone. Grow Stone is a special type of rock that has tiny holes to filter water, and it also houses bacteria and it eats the waste and turns the ammonia to nitrites then to nitrates. The nitrates are what keep the plants healthy and is a source for energy for them as well. Since there is a constant flow of water we had to make a filter system to maintain water level as well. To maintain the water level we used a device called a "Bell Siphon." This device releases water to the barrels when a certain water level is reached and it siphons all the water out the of planter bed then water is brought back up again by the barrels. There are also certain plants we are allowed to plant since we are just starting. We planted shallow rooted plants like broccoli, spinach, mint, basil etc. Later on we would be able to plant bigger plants, but it will take a while since they will be introduced to a constant flow of water which these plants are not used to. To make sure our system can thrive we had to test the Ph levels of the planter bed system by taking a sample of water and testing it with our Ph kit. Our Ph kit can help determine whether we need more ammonia, nitrates, etc. We achieved our dream plan when we came together and dispersed into the categories we were interested in like myself, I joined the Aquaponics team because I was interested in the system and how it worked. Some teams include Documentation, Planter Boxes, Vermi-Compost, Beautification, Website, etc. In my opinion, I really enjoyed this project because it brought me out of my comfort zone and I got to experience things I have never done before like using a buzzsaw or jigsaw. I also loved how this project blossomed to something that was only on paper to an actual product of our dreams. This project has brought many people together and we got to bond with people we never even talked to before on our team! I am very glad that our class has done a project that can lead positivity, healthy eating and creativity for the future.
