Hydroponics Lesson

Photosynthesis and Hydroponics

By: Mrs. Norton

Plants use sunlight to make it's own food.

Plants convert sunlight into nutrients

Photosythesis

The leaves take in a gas called carbon dioxide as well as sunlight.

​

Water is absorbed through the roots

Consumers eat those plants and take in that energy.
