Define the problem: The hydroponic my group was making was a Nutrient Film Technique system. The Pros for a NFT is that it's easy to build, It grows plants fast, And it looks cool. The Cons for a NFT is that it can only grow small plants and you have to keep the water flowing so the plants don't die . Here are some pics of my Hydroponic system at the bottom of the page.
Research: For my hydroponic research i looked up my hydroponic ( Nutrient Film Technique) and look for a good website with good fact about my
System. This website is good for NFT systems. I made a page of work with the materials i need to build it. If you need Mr.Ted, ask if he can get the material Ex: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DXT_nMeKRXbdecUEWUD7fZd2Fhnb4UHgOeDoCkOg9cU/edit
Design: First we had to do the research to find the material for our Hydroponic , Then i had to make a list of plant seeds and materials that you can get in a store like home depot, lowes, etc. I find a good lay out of a NFT system so i used it to start making my system. We had all of our materials but the gutter. I had to call gutter business and see if they have any gutters they were throwing out or if they wanted to give use a gutter for free. we find a company called "Seamless Rain Gutters" That gave use free gutters so thank you for that.
Feedback: When i got critique i had my group members to look at the research and then ask Mr.ted to see if i can start making my hydroponic. Me and Mr.Ted looked at the list of stuff i needed, but one the the items i had was a cut out tub but it was too big for the fame of the hydro; so we came up with a gutter to hold up the plants
