How do plants grow in space? Can astronauts grow food in a zero-gravity environment? You can do your own experiments right here on Earth to find out! In this science project you will build your own device called a clinostat that rotates seeds so the direction of gravity is constantly changing. You can do experiments to see how this simulated microgravity environment affects seed germination. For written instructions, including a parts list, circuit diagram, and example code, see the Science Buddies website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/PlantBio_p054/plant-biology/plants-grow-microgravity-arduino-clinostat
