This is the second version of my Self-Watering Planter. More Planters: Bird House Planter Self-Watering Planter Self-Watering Planter 3 Voronoi Planter This new version does not require strings to draw water into the soil, making it perfect for botany and biology lessons like the one described in my first version. Find me on: Printer: Maker Select V2.1 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 200 micron Infill: 50% Notes: Planter: PLA Reservoir: PETG Project: Self-Watering Voronoi Planter 2 The objective of this project is to introduce students to botany and hydroponics, teaching them about capillary action. This project is suitable for elementary and middle school students in a science or biology class, but anyone can participate. No prior knowledge or skills are required. Lesson: After printing the self-watering planter, demonstrate how it works by filling the bottom piece halfway with water, then filling the top piece with soil, planting seeds, and watering the soil. Place the planters near a window sill and let the seeds grow while teaching students about germination and photosynthesis. The depth of your explanation is up to you, as are the type of seeds you use. Remember to check the water levels every few days. Duration: The duration of this lab depends on how long it takes for seeds to germinate and grow, plus the time it takes to print the planter. It will take a few weeks, but requires minimal effort. Rubric and Assessment: Students are graded according to the instructor's discretion. I recommend grading them based on the health of their plant, as well as a quiz on what they learned.
