This session will
focus on how to intergrade astrobotany research and education by developing
hydroponic growth systems and microgravitational experimentation that can be
implemented as a means to meet life sciences curricular goals. This program is
a collaborative effort between the astrobotany research and education program
at Suito Kokusai Junior and Senior High School in Osaka, Japan, and Gilroy Lab,
astrobotany research department in the University of Madison
Wisconsin. Our program is meant to guide students to understand core
curricular concepts while contributing to the fields of astrobiology.
