basic setup for making a lab
 

We are learning about hydroponics in our science class, and we are going to be setting up a hydroponics lab in our room. What would be the basic setup for making a lab, and do you have any tips? Thanks a lot!

For learning purposes a lot of small gardens are better than larger systems so they can be compared with one another for testing nutrients and light differences.
Four students can be assigned to each garden to compare results.
I will be setting up a virtual reality model this spring that schools can copy or just use the VR one as their teaching model.
