Abstract Details
'From table to space' |
|
---|---|
With dwindling arable land on earth, is space an option for producing food for our growing population? Discuss earth's crust, mantle, core as we dissect an apple and look at the amount of land available for producing food. Watch a clip of how astronauts have to engineer their food to eat in space. We will design and build a paper rocket and launch it to simulate space exploration. Directions for the rocket and building the pvc rocket launcher will be included. Workshop Session (all workshops will be one hour) | |
