![The winners of the SSEP competition worked together on September 17 with a scientist from NanoRacks to help them create their experiment so that it would be ready for flight after it is shipped to the space shuttle in Kazakhstan. The students used chia seeds to see how germination rates are affected by being in micro gravity versus in regular gravity. "The call [the teleconference with NanoRacks] went extremely well. The scientist was very helpful and well prepared. [The students] were able to assemble the practiced tube without difficulty," Dr. Baribault said.
