About this reader

This innovative passage combines plant science with space exploration, aligning with NGSS standards for life sciences and environmental systems. The narrative explores how plants grow in space and their crucial role in future space exploration. Through Sarah's observations of plants growing in different directions, students learn about gravity's effects on plant growth and the importance of plants for space travel. The passage effectively connects earth science with space science while highlighting the significance of sustainable space exploration.
