Matrix: BioMass Cycle

Part of the advanced range, the Biomass cycle teaching solution enables students to recreate and understand the complete biomass cycle independently, without additional equipment. Using a cultivation box and hydroculture setup, students can observe plant sprouting and growth while analysing water and nutrient consumption across various growth stages. Through a series of experiments, the kit demonstrates both aerobic and anaerobic decomposition of biomass via composting and biogas processes, allowing students to explore the applications of biomass effectively.

Learning Objectives:

• Germination of plant seeds
• Plant growth in a hydroculture
• Consumption of water and nutrients
• Aerobic degradation of biomass in a compost
• Anaerobic degradation of biomass to form hydrogen
• Anaerobic degradation of biomass to form methane
