This 5-lesson unit engages 7th-grade students in a post-apocalyptic survival scenario where they investigate food insecurity and plant growth through hydroponic agriculture and data analysis. Students examine archived data and accounts to understand how food systems fail and how access to nutritious food impacts communities. Across lessons 1-3, students learn how plants grow through photosynthesis and how environmental conditions such as light, nutrients, and water affect plant health in a shared hydroponic system. During lesson 4, students collect, clean, analyze, and visualize real plant growth data using computational tools, identifying patterns and trends across experimental conditions. The unit is aligned to Minnesota state standards in science and mathematics, as well as national Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) standards for data collection and analysis. In the final lesson, students synthesize their findings into a Mission Report, communicating evidence-based conclusions about how food can be grown sustainably and how data-informed decisions can support survival and food security.
