Water Wisdom

Large greenhouse operations often determine water needs and use "automatic" watering measures, such as drip irrigation. Give your students some water-related challenges. For instance, ask them to design a simple self-watering system (perhaps with absorbent cloth wicks), a method of warming water before it's used on plants, or a "clue" chart to help one another decide when it's time to water.
