内容記述 | Objective: To investigate how different cleaning agents sanitize an assortment of vegetables and fruits for ~nsumption on board the International Space Station (ISS). -Description: This laboratory investigation will have students testing different cleaning agents on a variety of vegetables and fruits that can be grown on board the ISS. Students will determine which cleaning agent most effectively lowers the number of bacteria on a variety of vegetables and fruits. This lab will also lend itself to investigations dealing with pH and its' role in lowering bacterial counts. In addition, students will figure out the correct balance between plant architecture and effectiveness of sanitizing these surfaces to achieve lower bacteria counts. This will be determined based on swabbed bacteria samples later grown on a Petri dish. |
