Plants in Space Design Challenge

PLANTS IN SPACE (K-12)
Plant growth will be an important part of space exploration in the future. NASA scientists anticipate that astronauts may be able to grow plants on the moon, and the plants could be used to supplement meals. Through the NASA Engineering Design Challenge, K-12 students will design, build, and evaluate lunar plant growth chambers. They will also receive cinnamon basil seeds flown last year on the space shuttle Endeavour and test lunar growth chambers by growing and comparing both space-flown and Earth-based control seeds.
