Moon Munchies (K-4) Logo-1.png

In anticipation of the need for research into plant growth chambers as a means of supplementing the diets of astronauts on long duration missions to bodies in our Solar System, NASA and the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, or ITEEA, present this NASA Engineering Design Challenge. While engaging in research and standards-based learning experiences, students are introduced to the engineering design process as they design, build and evaluate lunar plant growth chambers.

In completing this badge you will review the resources provided and develop a plan for implementing the challenge in your classroom.

This Badge is aligned with the following Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Elementary Grades:

LS1.A: Structure and Function

LS1.C: Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms

ETS1: Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science
