Summary

Will plants grow and thrive without Earth’s gravity? Dr. Greg Vogt discusses an engaging experiment that allows students anywhere to compare plants growing on Earth to those grown on the International Space Station.

Be part of an exciting investigation taking place in space and on Earth. The Plants in Space investigation will examine plant root growth in microgravity. You and your students can grow ground-based control plants in your classroom, download hourly photographs from the International Space Station, and design your own experiments based on the data from space.
