How do plants grow in space? Can astronauts grow food in a zero-gravity environment? You can do your own experiments right here on Earth to find out! In this science project you will build your own device called a clinostat that rotates seeds so the direction of gravity is constantly changing. You can do experiments to see how this simulated microgravity environment affects seed germination. For written instructions, including a parts list, circuit diagram, and example code, see the Science Buddies website: https://sbgo.org/arduino-clinostat Roller coaster image Image by Paul Brennan on Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/photos/roller-coaster-people-fun-1701085/ ISS lettuce image by NASA: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Veggie_plants.jpg Science Buddies also hosts a library of instructions for over 1,500 other hands-on science projects, lesson plans, and fun activities for K-12 parents, students, and teachers!
