Basehor-Linwood elementary schools are taking advantage of Linwood Elementary School teacher Lisa Turney’s role as an Astro moji mission specialist working with a science experiment currently taking place at the International Space Station.
Turney was selected from more than 550,000 participants to virtually teach about a science experiment involving red clover being grown 250 miles above Earth on the ISS.
Those seeds were sent via the NG-15 Cargo Resupply Mission which launched Feb. 20 and will return in May. The purpose of the experiment is to achieve effective plant growth in space for long-term space travel, including a potential colonization of Mars.
