It’s a way of growing plants without soil. P
We can also grow plants and raise fish in just one system. P
We’ll see. I’m going to try it at home for my science project. P
Fish, bacteria, and plants are the main parts of aquaponics. P
After you feed the fish, they produce waste. P
The waste is turned into food for the plants by bacteria. P
The plants clean the water by consuming the food. P
This process is repeated again and again! P

From this experiment, I grew my plants and raised fish with aquaponics. P
I just fed the fish, but the plants have grown 17 centimeters in three months. P
The fish stay healthy and the water is clean all the time. P
Some important things about aquaponics were learned from this experiment. P
First, water is saved because the plants don’t need watering. P
Second, it is good for the environment because no chemicals are used. P
Finally, you can do aquaponics anywhere because it doesn’t need much space. P
