About ExoLab
ExoLab is a science experiment where students from across the world compare their results with an identical growth chamber on the International Space Station. Schools have the opportunity to use the same equipment used on the ISS to give students an opportunity to participate in real-time research in a connected global school community.
- Students collect and analyze data to identify the optimal combination of legume, bacteria, and soil to produce nodulation in the harsh environment of the space.
- They engage in experimental design, data collection and analysis, writing and revising hypotheses, and communicating about what they’ve learned using evidence from their experiments.
- Direct curriculum outcomes for high school
- Guided by experienced educators from Fizzics Education & Magnitude.
- Available globally for schools
The experiments are initiated on the ISS in accordance with resupply missions. This allows for multiple experiments per year, giving options on when to align the classroom experiment with the ISS experiment. Students look for relationships between the environmental conditions, including the effect of microgravity on the growth of living things in general.
