Plant Growth in Zero Gravity
Overview
Objectives/Goals To modify the growth of a plant to see if it can grow in zero gravity by affecting the direction at which the plant feels the gravity Methods/Materials Hamster balls, seeds, soil, robot Lego, batteries, others Results By affecting the growth of the plant we found the plant curves around itself, a test plant was also used to compare growth. Conclusions/Discussion This project showed that in the absence of space, food can be grown to save space and optimize product.
