The
students from Chesapeake Math & Information Technology Elementary School in Prince George’s County decided to research hot peppers. We examined and discovered that hot peppers can fight bacteria. The purpose of this mission is to find alternative food sources for astronauts. If they can germinate hot peppers, this could be used to help fight bacteria. This will help to keep astronauts healthy. We hope hot pepper seeds will germinate in a microgravity environment. This could be a new food source for astronauts
.Abstract:Slide4
The materials needed for Mission 8 ISS experiment include:
1 type 3 FME mini lab
5 ml of water
10 Hot Purira pepper seeds
5ml of Miracle grow plant food concentrate5ml of 10% Neutral buffered formalinMaterialsSlide5
Procedures:
For this experiment we gathered all the needed materials for both experiments. We prepared two type 3 FME mini labs by measuring the exact amounts of liquids, and by counting out the hot pepper seeds. The mini labs were given five milliliters of distilled water mixed with 1 mL of Miracle Grow plant food. We wrapped 10 hot pepper seeds in a piece of organic cotton ball. The last part of the FME 3 mini lab has the 10% neutral buffered formalin. The type 3 FME mini lab clamps were clamped and color coded. They will be unclamped (one on Earth and one in space) on day U-14 and shaken gently for 5 seconds. Clamp B will be unclamped and shaken gently for 10 seconds. The mini lab will need to be shaken gently. No other interaction will be required after unclamping. When the type 3 FME mini lab returns from space we will compare those seed with the ones we germinated on Earth.Slide6
Why do this?By germinating hot pepper seeds we hope to keep astronauts healthy and happy!Slide7
