Experiment: Physiological Effects of Microgravity on Germination and Growth of Arabidopsis thalianaLackey students Charles, left, Paul, center, and Kristin, right, work together to test a set of seeds as part of their experiment focusing on seed germination in plants. Image Credit: SSEP
The student team of Courtney, Charles, Kristin, Devon, Christine, Chinyere, Sam, Sydney, Paul and Deborah experimented with growing different strains of the seed. The experiment has excited students at Lackey, and the team is enthusiastic about analyzing the seeds after they return from space. The University of Maryland, Baltimore County donated the seeds. Kristin said this is a great honor for her team and something they never will forget.
