 * __ DESIGN BRIEF / SPECIFICATIONS: __**


 * Individual Seedling Germination – Phase 1 **

Now that we have planted seed we need to document the growth of the plants. In your team section, take an individual photo of your plants. Post to the your teams wiki page plant height, type of plant and date.Make sure it is a clear picture of your plant. Also note the amount of plants that are growing.

Use horizontal dividers to separate data. Remember, only one person can edit within the team page at one time.

Every person will need to contribute to the Phase 1 page. You can add divider lines to separate your information and add new information as it develops. The dividing lines should separate one set of collected data from one day to another.

Following Team members
 * Group Hydroponics – Phase 2 **
 * 1) Leader- responsible for all members and information that is collected collect. Responsibility can rotate throughout the project. Leader must make sure that each person contributes and checks that all information is present. All members may be a leader during any part of this project. They may be multiple leader at one time. Leaders are problem solvers.
 * 2) Hydroponic Design Team – All members must participate in the creation of your system. Responsibility includes sketching and developing classroom system. The drawing must be neat and accurate with labels and uploaded to the Wiki site. We have a scanner in the room.
 * 3) Construction Team – responsible for building and maintaining system throughout growing process. Again there can be multiple leaders during this process. Leaders are problem solvers and gets everyone moving.
 * 4) Note Takers – Responsible for monitoring and measuring growth. Listing problems and detailing any revisions to system. Taking pictures and completing analysis on Wiki. Although only one person can edit at a time, a leader would check that information is complete.


 * Wikipage Information **


 * At the Top of Phase 2 **

· Explanation of system and how it will work in detail. Describe your system. Which system did you choose? Why did you chose it?Did you combine two? What is your watering interval going to be to start? · Upload sketches detailing system design. Showing tank, pump, piping and plant locations. · Materials Used. Add a parts list.

**On-going**

Photos of System
· Every time the cart is in the room you must take a photo of your system and upload to the Wiki. · Analysis of data. How the plants are doing? What is the average height of growth? Are some plants not growing? Are some growing faster than others? Did you make adjustments to the timer? What condition are the plants in? What changes did you make to the system? Problems and successes encountered? Have any of the plants produced flowers? Did any die? Did you cross pollinate the plants? Are there any peppers growing? How many?

Keep in mind - Trade-offs, risks and benefits

**Final Conclusion**

· Conclusion

Evaluation of your system. Details explanation of progresses and setbacks that you encountered during the entire project. How did the system run? Did you have any setbacks that lead to a redesign of the system? Did portions of the system stop working? Summarize plant growth. List of trade-off, risks and benefits. Trade-off are things that you give up. What were some of the things that you had to give up to get the system working? Trade-offs are also things that you wish you had but needed to settle for what was available. (Be realistic). Risk are chances that you took. Changes in watering times. Was you system complicated to create? Was it susceptible to power failure, over watering or drought? Benefits are the return you get from your Trade-offs and Risks. Benefits can also be an overall collection of good things or bad about the project.


 * Peer Review **

Each person on the team will evaluate their participation in the project and the participation of their team members. What you did? How you contributed? and your team mates. Do not give everyone 100 points unless you can substantiate your findings fully.


 * Presentation **

At the end of your project you will review all the data and report your findings to the class. You will present your Wiki page and discuss all of the information on the site. Each person on the team will need to take part in the discussion and be able to answer questions that might come up about your design.


 * Grading **

The rubric for this project is on the Moddle site. The available points is 200. The first 100 points is from the Rubric during the project. The second 100 points comes from the Peer Evaluation also located on the Moodle site.
