• Simplified Hydroponics for Kindergartens

Hydroponics has become a valuable educational tool to stimulate learning and improve the nutrition of four and five-year-old children in this Uruguayan kindergarten. At the Kindergarten of The British Schools, in Uruguay, there is a continuing interest in finding new ways to improve the educational system. The kindergarten experimented with a traditional garden plot with little results, due to several factors – limited space; mud prevented the children from keeping clean; the large number of children participating in the activities has not allowed the direct handling of tools; watering has been too complex for them to carry out ;and last, the crop has not been worth it, taking into account the big effort made by the group.
