Our year 7 and 8 ACES students recently attended the exciting Plants in Space program at the Western Australian Space Science Education Centre.
In a hands-on laboratory environment, students investigated how plants grow in space-like conditions by exploring the effects of microgravity, water and light.
Working in teams, students experimented with red and blue light to discover how different colours can impact plant growth and sustainability in space.
The experience challenged students to think like future scientists while building teamwork, problem-solving and critical thinking skills. It was an engaging day of science, discovery and future-focused learning. 🌿
