Bad Axe Intermediate School, Michigan
These third, fourth, and fifth graders from northeastern Michigan take a lot of pride in their work as hydroponic experimenters.

They've produced cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and beans. The classes created a friendly competition—called "The Great Bean Race"—and challenged each other to see who could produce the first beans and who could produce the highest yield.
