Human migration because i learned why to people move.
First Think
Second Think
Choice 1:Hydroponics | Choice 2:Piezoelectric | Choice 3:Economic activity |
I know Hydroponics is a technology that you use to grow vegetables and fruit faster and anywhere.Hydroponics is faster than traditional soil based growing system.You can put any freshwater fish in the aquaponic system,most popular being tilapia and barramundi because they tolerate better diverse water conditions and grow fast .Trouts can be especially for lower temperatures.other aquatic animal you can grow is shrimp and snails.Hydroponics does not need soil,less parasites,faster growth,labor savings. | I know Piezoelectric is a technology that when you put pressure it creates electricity.It was founded at 1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie.It stops pollution by creating electricity when putting pressure.Not like burning fossil fuel Piezoelectric does not create pollution.Piezoelectric is a way to make electricity. | I know there are two types of economic activity.Economic activity is when you are paid to do work.Non economic is when you are not paid to work. |
I’d love to learn more about it and how was it made
| I’d love to learn how was it discovered.
| I’d love to learn a lot more about the types and more.

Reflect on your interests and the social issues.
Are there any ideas that connect to technology?
What might you want to explore during your exhibition?

Action How would I make a positive change in my community? | |
My Success Criteria Copy and paste | |
I was successful because my presentation was good and my project is still on going.My project is still going because after my presentation sir Gino said we will make a Hydroponic system in school to make money for to improve the school.Sir Gino is going to make the name of the project “Zachary Lee Hydroponic system PYPX”. | I could’ve improved by |
I used to think… | but now I think... |
I used to think Hydroponic is just a way of growing plants without soil and its just a more eco friendly way to grow plants.
Now i think Hydroponics is overall a better way of growing plants and it has way more benefits then traditional soil, an example is Hydroponics use 80-90% less water.
