Science Experiment- We wanted to test the various factors that contributed to better plant growth. We altered the duration of light that each plant received. We also investigated whether using a "nutrient gradient" could be a catalyst for more growth.
Research Document with Citations- This contains all of our research that we had to conduct to complete our project and build our prototype. The citations contain all citations in MLA format, with direct links embedded.
Communications With Our Mentor- Documented emails and conversations between our mentor from NASA, Gioia Massa.
Our Prototype- Take a look at some of the schematics and blueprints we drew in preparation for building our prototype! If you want to see our completed prototype, look at the images under the "Completed Design" section of that page.
How does this all work?- Check this page out if you want further explanations on the physics behind our product. Be sure to mess around with the calculator designed by one of the members of our team to calculate centrifugal force!
