Synopsis:
The project will investigate methods of growing seeds in space. This includes discovering an efficient way to provide the plant with water, food and a growth chamber. Students will work with a experimental group of seeds that have travelled to space and a control group of seeds that have not travelled to space.
Students will create a growth chamber and develop a watering and feeding process that will maximize growth of plants.
Students will evaluate the success of their design by comparing the control and experimental group. |
