Plants
Plant growth will be an important part of future space exploration as NASA plans for long-duration missions to the Moon. Scientists anticipate that astronauts will need to be able to grow plants on the Moon to supplement meals. NASA and the International Technology Education Association present the NASA Engineering Design Challenge: Lunar Plant Growth Chamber. Elementary, middle, and high school students design, build, and evaluate lunar plant growth chambers — while engaging in research- and standards-based learning experiences. Students participate in the engineering design process and learn how to conduct a scientific experiment.
