Mrs. Wallace's 3rd graders are participating in a NASA Challenge.

The quest is to see if different groups can grow vegetables in lunar simulant & soil.

Meet our leaders in the link (above) to hear details about their project and  goals.

Pupils started the experiments on September 29th.  

They chose to plant peas. 

They planted two seeds in each container.

Containers are filled with 50% soil & 50% lunar simulant.

Nutrients were added to all but one container, the control.

Nutrients included egg shells, coffee grounds, water from a fish tank, or leaves.

Some of the pea plants sprouted this week!
