NASA Engineering Design Challenge - Bring Space Into Your Classroom!
As NASA plans to return to the moon, plant growth will be an
important part of space exploration. NASA scientists anticipate that
astronauts may be able to grow plants on the moon in specialized
plant growth chambers. Come participate and build your own lunar
growth chamber in the NASA Engineering Design Challenge!
Through the NASA Engineering Design Challenge, elementary, middle and
high school students will:
* Design, build, and evaluate lunar plant growth chambers
* Receive cinnamon basils seeds flown on STS-118
* Test lunar growth chambers by growing and comparing both
space-flown and earth-based control seeds
Visit http://www.nasa.gov/education/plantchallenge to register and to
receive more information about the NASA Engineering Design Challenge.
On this site you can also sign up for the NASA Express listserv to
receive e-mail updates about the challenge and other NASA education
activities.
Join the NASA Engineering Design Challenge and be part of space
exploration by growing seeds flown in space!
