Space Plants













NASA has done lots of experiments about growing plants in space. It's pretty much the same thing you see at EPCOT. One person in our group made a joke about medical marijuana after we were out of the building. We also visited a chemistry area. One person developed an emulsified iron product that gets rid of PBCs. It is the most licensed NASA product of anything they have created and is used in most of the United States. This environmental engineer also created another chemical last year for environmental cleanup that is becoming very popular. They're also working on chemicals for mars missions.














The NASA workshop has been everything I hoped for. It's go go go all the time and we don't just sit around. This week we leave the hotel at 7:20 AM every day and sometimes don't get back from everything until 6 PM or so. Then we eat dinner. Then we work on lesson plans and blogs.
