Module 4: Analyse
The first batch of microgreens should have reached its full potential. Use the data students have collected to help them understand what worked well and what could be improved for trial two. Continuing the 4 Ds, students will then design their farm of the future.
Module outcomes
- Learn to analyse the data you’ve collected from trial one
- Understand the difference between qualitative and quantitative data
- Use your data insights to improve your second microgreen trial
- Build a better grow house
- Design your farm of the future
