Task+3

Task 3

The aquaponics setup that we are installing at the centre came from a design that someone made. They had a idea, then came up with a design and then worked to create that design. A basic design process involves a series of steps.


 * 1) There is a **need**. In this case the inventor wanted to use fish production as a way to grow plants for food.
 * 2) A **design brief** is drawn up stating how this need will be met.
 * 3) A design is **drawn up and described.**
 * 4) A list of **resources** that is needed to create the design.

I want you to follow this process. The need is to develop an aquaponics system of your own. It must use fish to fertilise a plant bed. So the first step is done for you.

You must name your creation and draw a detailed design of what the system looks like. I also want a descrption of how it works. Lastly, a list of resources that you will need to build it.

You can be as creative, imaginative and innovative as you want to be. Think outside of the square on this task. I have included an example of how our system may operate BUT yours DOES NOT have to be so specific for its list of resources. Just list what you need that is shown in YOUR system.

Here are some examples of other designs
