Growing Beyond Earth

I was recently reading the January/February 2024 issue of \u201cScience Scope,\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association for middle school science teachers.

In this issue, I read the \u201cCitizen Science\u201d section written by Jill Nugent.\xa0 She wrote an article entitled, \u201cGrowing Beyond Earth: Cultivating 21st-Century Science Exploration.\u201d

The Growing Beyond Earth citizen science project, in partnership with NASA and the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, partners with classrooms and identifies edible plant varieties that are well suited for beyond Earth growing conditions.\xa0 For more information, visit:
